Friday and Saturday, Mike. By Sunday I was at Brands Hatch (although I haven't yet had time to sift through the photographic consequences).

Thanks, all. I am well aware that grid access is a huge privilege, but trying to take uncluttered portraits is, as Frogfish surmises, a right pain in the prism. Bernie doesn't get in the way, because he's about half the height of most grid girls, but there are many TV crews, mechanics and VIP guests who do...

I bought a second-hand example to tackle insects, butterflies and the like, but have discovered that it also works acceptably with other stuff...

Lovely shots, Alan. Very cuite, but probably already adept at opening bin bags...

All practice shots - work keeps me elsewhere during the race, sadly. On a short circuit such as Monaco, one can easily cover several corners during a 60- or 90-minute practice session.
