I like the shot of Vettel, good use of reflection in the glasses.
But, to be honest, yet again a cracking set.

I like the idea of number 4, but the car seems a little constricted by the top of the frame. But that's being picky.

Nice work

Theres some good shots there.

My favs being 1,5 & 7.

Regards

George

2, 4 and 6 get my vote - great shots

Another handful...

"ahhhhhhhhh so thats where the kirb is"

No 12...
so you can take petrol bombs in then?

First item on the list may cover that?

Great images Simon. Takes me back to when it all started with the circuit construction etc. I covered two F1 events whilst based in Bahrain. How things have changed although it never was quiet, the media just ignored it.

Best regards

I witnessed a skirmish in 2006 - the main highway blocked by piles of blazing tyres, during one of the frequent Friday evening exchanges - but mentioned it only in passing, in one of the specialist magazines. As you say, such stuff went largely unreported. So far I haven't seen any trouble this year, although I know it has been creating headlines in Europe.

As for security, we have the customary circuit patrols - provided by the usual Austrian company - with extra local padding. During yesterday morning's routine bag check, I mentioned to a bored Austrian that the prohibition signs mentioned nothing about guns. "That's right," he said. "You can bring those in, so long as you don't have bottles of water or drumsticks..."

I have known less quirky race weekends.

I really like these. IMO they just need a tiny tweak to the levels and a bit of post-resizing sharpening. I notice you like 'edgy' composition with the subject close to the edge of the frame (4, 9) but I think you should just give a fraction more space. In shot 9 you could easily extend the tarmac at the bottom a bit like this.
