Winner...Max Verstappen

@jasonpohuski and I hustled to the finish line to make sure we captured the end of the FIA F1 USGP race.  Red Bull Racing Honda’s Max Verstappen won the race with his rival (Lewis Hamilton who drives for Mercedes) right behind him in 2nd place.  It was a fun event to cover and probably the most difficult thing I’ve ever photographed.  It was a technical and logistical challenge from the beginning to the end.

 About this photo, the winning pit crew always runs to the wall to cheer for their driver going passed the finish line.  At this track, at this time of day, it was a tough shot to get because of the harsh sun, shadows from the grandstands, the speed of the car and several other factors.  So it isn’t the best photo in the world, but it captures some of the emotion involved in the sport.
