Still brought back some fond pictures of the season. Wasn't happy in particular with the amount and angle of some footage though.

I bought it, played on my Blu Ray player and HD TV and the picture quality is really bad. I was disappointed. They are presenting all GP on HD format and are not able to provide fans a better season review DVD quality. Shame on them! What an exiting season.

The narration somehow manages to take the excitement and drama out of the races with awkward commentary that is always trailing the action. It puts you to sleep. The recaps are totally incoherent---if I did not watch the race I would have no idea what happened. The DVD was awful.

The only few I could think of was the starting issue in Instanbul and the brief conversation between Lewis and his brother at the end of the race in Silverstone. Where was the footage on Piquet's spin on the first lap of Brazil which we never got to see for example?And the bias towards Valencia was cringe-worthy. The drivers and managers describing how it was a brilliant venue to be etc?!!The 'extra features' were severely lacking as well. Ross brawn being all optimistic about Honda's chances for next season? Alonso looking through some pictures? Bourdais talking about, er, sorry, what was he talking about again?!!Seriously struggled to remain awake whilst watching it. Too long and not enough new footage. I would seriously wait for this to be heavily reduced before purchasing, even if it has become a yearly ritual for most folk.
