My favourite thing to write is back! And I can say good things about Alfa Romeo and Haas, so what's not to like?
As an opening act for the new regs, Bahrain was beyond amazing. Great weekend, all over, with so many twists and turns, and ultimately a very entertaining race (RBR's heartbreak was painful, but F1 is cruel).
And if this is what 2022-2025 will be all about, then sign me up and let's keep these regs until 2040 (hopefully until Laura Magnussen can start driving, she is amazingly cute, I am smitten: https://twitter.com/i/status/1505952879558856711 and https://twitter.com/i/status/1506284575491858437 for proof).

I organized everything I shared here on Imgur regarding motorsports so far: https://imgur.com/a/6lToMDG

As usual, kudos to LAT Images, Getty Images, DPPI, Motorsport Images, Sutton Images, and XPB Images, and especially to the amazing F1 photographers' corps. Although they are too many to name, their talents are appreciated and loved.
And also thanks to McLaren Racing, Red Bull Media House, Mercedes-Benz Grand Prix Ltd., Williams Racing, Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN, Haas F1 Team, and Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant F1 Team.
Without them, our work would look so much poorer.

Also, we have a Discord server where we talk F1, motorsports, and all sorts of things. We are opening it up slowly to people outside our workspace (we have a couple of people from the ping list in it), and it is a fun place to be, especially if you want to chat during events. If you want in, let me know. The more, the merrier.
If you want more info, let me know. I believe we are striving for something pretty great, and it will take great people to make that vision come true. We are currently are a few dozen and so far everyone is really enjoying a place to chat F1 without animosity, tribalism, etc. If it sounds like something you would enjoy, come join us.

Going to try something different, with a private post with portraits and detail shots from the weekend. There are too many good ones, and they would make this post SUPER long.

They are going to have to shoot this again at Saudi Arabia, to include Seb.



















In another display of how bad their weekend was, Williams did not publish any photos on Saturday and Sunday. I think the photographers just got drunk on Friday night and never came back.

Thus it begins...

That was a great race. Loved the battle with Charles and Max after the first pit stop. AND HAAS IN 5TH! OMG!!

Now they only need to do it 22 more times! This season is going to be amazing.

The pinged names asked to be notified. If you dig F1 photos and a bit of F1 writing, let me know and I will add you to the list.

Love to get pinged dude

Will do, thank you. Next one coming on Thursday, with the Saudi Arabian GP Preview and past photos (in this case, all from 2021, obviously).

I had almost forgotten how good some of these liveries look under floodlights. Those sparks from Max overtaking leclerc,wow!

F1 photography is amazing, but rain/night F1 photography is mind-bogglingly amazing.

You can certainly say that again. Wasnt to sure about it 1rd time they ran in 2008. But as digital cameras have improved so have the cars
flipj
For night races, it is very hard to cut the available shots to a manageable amount. I want to post 300 of them.

And the F1 teams marketing departments are making the most of those night races

You can ‘follow’ my account to get an alert if a post hits FP, but you can also be pinged as it is posted.
