After literially taking thousands of F1 photos this year, I selected this one as “the 2024 photo” for a few reasons. One, it captured a quiet moment as Sergio Perez climbed into the Red Bull car right before he gets strapped into the seat and has to deal with extreme stress driving the car while he puts his life at risk. Two, these moments in the garage are unique and something most people never get a chance to see with their own eyes. And three, it seemed appropriate to feature Sergio since he won’t be racing in Formula One next season or maybe ever again…..and he deserves some recognition. With so many big stories at the end of the season, his departure from Formula One didn’t get as much attention as you’d expect.
