2024 F1 Miami Grand Prix

I’m still trying to recover from the 4 action packed days, sun up to sun down, covering this event. Here are a few track side photos from the Grand Prix on Sunday.

FIA Formula 1 series

I’ve enjoyed the start of the 2023 FIA Formula 1 season so far.  I can’t wait until the next race that I can attend.  Until then, here is a small series of photos I took at the United States Grand Prix last October.

More F1

Here are more from the recent 2022 FIA Formula 1 United States Grand Prix in Austin Texas.

Williams Racing Live: Pass the Mic

Outside of sports, I don’t take many people photos.  During the recent Formula 1 race weekend in Austin, Texas, I was invited to cover this red-carpet event as part of the media. 

Below are a few of the photos from that evening. Feel free to click and scroll…

More F1 USGP

I’ve been working my way through all the photos I took last weekend. Here is another bunch for you.

2022 FIA Formula 1 United States Grand Prix

A small sample of the thousands of photos I took today (Race Day). I took just as many the last two days leading up to today capturing all the pre-race activities, practice, qualifying and parties. Make sure you scroll down to see the numerous galleries.

F1 Photo Bomber

I’m looking forward to the upcoming NFL season and the next F1 race in Texas this fall.  Needless to say, I’m ready to be back on the sidelines and trackside.  Thankfully, I’ll be on the sidelines next Monday at Steelers Training Camp.  Unfortunately, it was the only day of Training Camp I could attend due to my schedule.    

At the Miami Grand Prix last spring, this one guy kept showing up in my photos.  I’ve been meaning to post these for a while now.  If only I knew who he was….. oh, wait that’s Jason my photographer buddy.   

F1 coming at you

I’m still going through my photos from the 2022 Miami Grand Prix race weekend.  Per normal, we moved around the venue to capture photos from many perspectives.  All these photos were taken in the same corner as the cars came at me.  I thought you might like them, since it’s a different composition from the normal racing photos.

Is 2022 Checo's Year?

Sergio Perez (nicknamed Checo) is performing at an amazing level this season.  He’d be leading in the Driver’s Championship, if Red Bull had just let him race at the Spain Grand Prix.  Towards the end of that race, the Red Bull team ordered him to let his teammate (Max) pass giving Max the win.  Checo probably would have won that race to go along with his win at Monaco last weekend.  He should be leading the Driver’s Championship instead of being a few points behind Max. 

At this point, if a Red Bull driver is going to win, I’m cheering for Checo.  Here are some photos I took of him this season at the Miami Grand Prix.

Leclerc on pole at Spain GP

Charles LeClerc captured the pole position today for tomorrow’s Spain Grand Prix.  Here are a few photos I captured of him at the Miami GP.

Behind the scenes - Miami GP

As promised, here are photos from behind the scenes at the Hard Rock Stadium (location of the race)….

Faces of F1 Miami

Here is a small fraction of portraits I captured at the FIA Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix.  Most of these photos were captured in the Paddock area.  I spent hours hanging out in this area just looking for famous people.  I was the human facial recognition software in action….  More live action racing photos, people, and behind the scenes photos to come.

Miami Grand Prix

I had a great time covering the FIA Formula 1 race in Miami last weekend.  Here are a few car/racing photos from that experience.  In the future, I’ll post some behind the scenes photos and celebrity photos.

2022 FIA Formula 1 Season About to Start

I’m still worried about and tracking progress in Ukraine, but I’m posting about something else today.  That doesn’t mean I stopped caring…...

 

Anyway, here is a video put together from our time at the U.S. Grand Prix in Austin Texas.

  I’m very excited about the upcoming F1 season kickoff.  Anyone else?

Missing F1

I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m ready for the 2022 Formula 1 season to start…even though the 2021 season just finished a couple weeks ago.  Here are a few photos I took last October at the FIA Formula 1 U.S. Grand Prix in Austin Texas. 

Sebastian Vettel - Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One Team

Valtteri Bottas - Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team

Sergio Perez - Red Bull Racing Honda

More F1

I’ve been working my way through all the photos I took during the FIA Formula 1 US Grand Prix.  Of the 27k photos, I selected a little over a 100 to edit.  Here are a few I edited yesterday.

Scuderia Alpha Tauri

Below are a few photos I captured of the Scuderia Alpha Tauri Formula 1 Team at the 2021 FIA Formula 1 US Grand Prix.  The Alpha Tauri drivers are Pierre Gasly (#10) and Yuki Tsunoda (#22).  They are the sister team to Red Bull Racing.  Yuki is a rookie F1 driver and is just trying to figure it all out.  Gasly is an extremely talented driver who gets the most out of his car.  He often challenges the major teams (Mercedes and Red Bull) even though he has a substandard car and technology. 

Carlos Sainz

Today’s post is of Carlos Sainz at the 2021 FIA Formula 1 US Grand Prix which took place at the Circuit Of The Americas (Austin Texas).  Carlos drives for Scuderia Ferrari along with Charles LeClerc.  They are currently 6th (LeClerc) and 7th (Sainz) in the standings for the 2021 Driver’s Championship.

 

I hope you don’t mind I got a little arty with this photo edit.    

Faces of Formula 1

I’m still scratching the surface of the 27k photos I took during the 2021 FIA F1 US Grand Prix in Austin Texas.  And, I’ve been very busy with since leaving Texas, therefore I haven’t paid much attention to my website, social media, and photography in general.  Sorry about that.

Here are some F1 personalities and a few behind the scenes images from the race weekend.

George Russell

I watched the FIA F1 Mexico City Grand Prix today.  Formula 1 had two weeks off since the USGP in Austin Texas.  Watching the race today on TV made me realize how much I enjoyed the USGP experience and would love to photograph more Formula 1 races in the future.  I’ll have to think about that and start making some plans for next season. 

The photo I’m posting for you today is George Russell who drives for Williams Racing.  Next season, he’ll switch to the Mercedes racing team along side Lewis Hamilton.  And with that team change, he’ll finally have a chance to win a race.  The Williams Racing team has struggled to put a competitive car on the grid the last few years. 

I took this photo at the 2021 USGP, of course.
