These are all very good drivers, very good drivers indeed who if had fate fallen a different way would have been world champions, maybe multiple world champions. But as history has shown, it takes more than good car skill to win a championship. It takes a car, a team, a ruthless edge, a complete wor...

All this is fine and dandy BUT... You have to also note a few key tidbits in respect to a few point made. CARDIO Drivers are relatively small and thin guys who carry around a lot less mass on their frames in comparison to physical sports like the ones you've mentioned and the more mass one carries,...

Some of this may be out of date, but the F1 guys are massively fit. In a test of top sports performers from multiple disciplines the only guys who came in fitter were the Tour De France cyclists (no doping comments here please :D). Cardio: Against professional football players and Rugby players, bot...

Don't confuse the heat of battle and the desire to win with disrespecting each other. They are not in direct competition at the moment other than singles races, so, their respect will be more genuine. It is well documented that Alonso thought that Lewis was as quick as him in 2007 due to McLaren adv...

I can't remember where I read this, Patrick Head's book or an interview with him in F1 Racing magazine. Head went on to say one of his biggest regrets was the way that they handled Hill. Head went on to say that Hill was one of the most underrated drivers of that generation, who had made Williams in...

Wow, I am overwhelmed by the response and kind words. you flatter me and I am so grateful.

Thank you all, really appreciate it...

It is time to say goodbye, to wave a fond farewell to a endeavor that has been with me for so long… Over the last 10 years I have been working hard to hone my skills at motorsport photography to a level that means I can produce a shot that makes me go, yes, that could make it into a magazine. For ni...

classic!! You made tea come out of my nose with that one!!

Maybe given the difficulties many of the "fast" junior drivers are having, this batch of cars and tyres are just very hard to drive and it takes experience or a huge talent to be fast in your first or second season....??? So Senna may have 25 races but that still makes him a junior with no consisten...

Where were you standing to get those?? Looks like infront of the fence? Really like the lower angles at Vale and they are all beautiful shots!!

Puma, Great great stuff... we took photos but I think yours put many people's to shame :D I wanted to share mine too but think it's unnecessary now that I've seen yours! And yes, you should consider urself a PRO - they are so much better than the photogs who get passes to take photos up close! I ha...

Thank you all for such kind replies...I am delighted you like them!! If you want any of them cut to your screen size,just drop me a PM and I will send you a suitably sized file. As for gear, I shot with a Canon 1d Mark 4 body and for this event a Canon 400 f2.8 Mark 2 Lens (with a 1.4 converter for...

Hello all, Not sure if I am allowed to post this here, so please Mods, please do delete if I am breaking the rules. I went to the British Grand Prix this weekend and suffered at the hands of the weather(how much rain???), the traffic (7 hours waiting to get into Silverstone on Friday!!) and the Park...

One of the most interesting things I read about Lewis and Jenson regarding their driving style (I think in F1 Racing) was that Lewis is such a natural driver that he can overcome most car's handling issues by relying on his innate talent....that means that he drives around problems, he doesn't need...

Location: Silverstone Seats: Gold Village A - 3 day. General experience: Silverstone has really transformed itself over the last few years....it is total dream for spectators, with plenty of viewing areas, even when it is crowded....the added bonus is that you can walk around the old Bridge corner....

Brilliant Thread, here are mine: Canada - Sprinty Valencia - Horrifying - dont even want to think of a word ending in y, cos it is so bad!! Monza - Chicany Monaco - Boaty Singapore - Lighty China - Zeny Malaysia - Curvy Britain - Drivey Spa - Hypnoticy Brazil - Yellowy Suzuka - Spoony Abu Dahbi - Ho...

Corrected the link to your site in the quote above. Beautiful photographs! I love the 1st one from the British Grand Prix (the Renault). Did you go there as a regular spectator or a photographer? You seem to have gotten access to a number of different spots to shoot pictures from. Is that easy to a...

Just seen the other post - Yep, slow shutter speed can work and it does create a much better impression of speed, but if you get the technique wrong you will end up with hundreds of out of focus images. So I cannot stress this eonough - I have sen it so many times!! For the first part of the race, g...

Hello, As this is your first time taking photos of F1 (?) then you will want to play it safe. Needless to say, F1 cars really do go very fast so getting a good photo is no easy task. So a quick guide for you that I hope helps. Camera settings: Go for centre point focus only. Go for as high a shutter...

I think it was the Brawn from 2009 that was creditied with this quote: " Our car is very quick but we are not sure why it is quick...that means it is difficult to steer development work and we make a few wrong turns". And as history shows, they simply didnt get the car to develop over 2009 and into ...

You know you watch / play too uch F1 when you make engine noises in your head and take the line with teh superrmarket shopping trolley / or walking in the Tube statin

Just voted no way, but wanted to make sure that this was registered as a no way because I have Virgin Media Tivo (and it has another 8 months to run on the contract) and the cost of Sky Sports to get F1 is too much for just F1.... (you might have wanted to add this as a poll option) And that is a re...
