In Melbourne you can often
experience ‘four seasons in one
day’ and this year’s Australian
GP was no different. With rain
forecast on Saturday, I decided
to maximise the sunlight we
had for Friday practice.
This is Williams’ rookie

FP2. The trick to this image is
to capture the helmet so it’s pin
sharp, but that’s much harder
to achieve now with the halo in
front of the driver.
This is a great place to stand
because the cars are on full
acceleration and it’s quite
exhilarating just being less than
a metre away from the track.
The only downside is getting
covered in bits of tyre debris...Photographer
