racethatwasn’t
After shootingfrom upin
the grandstand I headed
down to the track itself for
what is probably the weirdest
start shot I’ve ever done in
Australia – and I’ve been to
every Australian Grand Prix
since 1985.
I’m in the middle of the track,
looking towards the grid, at the
moment the lights would have
gone out to signalthe start of
the race. Instead of 20 F1 cars
at maximum acceleration, the
vista is one of fork-lift trucks
and people in high-vis jackets.
It’s quite surreal, but I
suppose the consolation is
that if the race had actually
been taking place, I certainly
wouldn’t be standing there...WhereMelbourne,Australia
