The shot with the Malaysian flag in the background may not be the sharpest but I really like it.
Erm, not sure what I was doing posting the Marussia. I was tired and suspect I thought I was uploading this - same shot, but with a slightly crisper Fernando Alonso...

Will try to pay more attention next time.

Which Sigma?
The 100-300mm f4, Mike - easier to fit in my rucksack. It's still misbehaving, but the contacts usually start working if I release and reattach the lens once or twice. I have the Pentax 17-70mm f4 with me, too, but the AF no longer seems particularly interested in moving objects. A diet of overhead luggage racks obviously takes its toll...

Great series, how did you manage to get inside the fence?
I have media access (as a writer), but there are associated privileges.

Thanks to all for the kind words. I'll add a few more photos if/when time permits and will try to post from other grands prix, too.

This might have worked much better had there been any classic motorcycles competing, but there weren't. Quite the opposite, in fact: the snap shows a round of the Aprilia Superteen series, in which most of the riders seem to be about 14. This is race winner Lewis Rollo leading Sam Smith and Milo Ward.

Taken at Druids Bend, Brands Hatch, UK, on March 3 (16.16 according to exif data, although I think that's still on BST)
Pentax K-5 with Sigma 150-500mm f5-6.3
1/640
f8
400 ISO

Forgot to mention that all were taken with K-5 and Sigma 150-500mm f5-6.3 lens...
