U caught a real moment there Steve...beautiful beautiful pic. Did u realise what you were shooting in the moment?

No idea, Brad. I just got lucky. A gem amongst 800 other pics.

I'm glad you like it. I will treasure this one for ever.

When I first walked out onto the balcony and saw all the cars lined up, with all the support crews, spotting all the technical people we all know and talk about, it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. To see the whole circus in all its glory in the flesh, up close was special indeed and something I will never forget.

I genuinely thought of you all and how you would have all loved it the same as I did. Most of the people in the Paddock Club were corporates or lucky. Either way, in the main they were clueless. That was the only tragedy of the weekend; The Paddock Club is wasted on most of these people. I honestly heard things like "So, who does Alonso drive for?" and "So, does pole position meand he starts first". It made me sad for the genuine hardcore fans sat soaked in the grandstands.

When the lights went out, I took one of my ear plugs out, ever so slightly. Just to hear what it's actually like. I put it back after a couple of seconds. It's unbearably and beautifully loud. Like nothing I have ever heard before. It overwhelmed me. I shed a tear. The man next to me laughed at me being caught up in the moment. But the freind I was with who paid for me to go, slapped me on the back and gave me a hug.

He knew his £3,700 had been spent on someone who loved every single second and will tell his grand children about those three days.

It's the type of picture you expect to see on professional magazines. Together with the one of Schumacher, reflect the atmosphere and at the same time transmit some of the driver's feelings.

Great moments and a chain of moments is _ _ _ _.

Fray Luis de León wrote mystical poems which prompted Cervantes to proclaim León "a genius who astounds the world and who, in ecstasy, might rob us of our senses." León was also an active man who taught at the University of Salamanca, translated classical and biblical literature, and wrote on religious themes. Twice denounced before the Inquisition, he was imprisoned for "heresy," though he returned to the University to later hold the chairs of Moral Philosophy and Biblical Studies.

Tradition has it that he began his lecture the first day after returning from four years' imprisonment with the words "as we were saying yesterday..."

And then of course there was Louise Rednapp (who I still think of as Louise Nurding) who may be on the turn, but still looks good (even if she has clearly had her teeth done). If I had got any closer to her I think I could have got an 'up nostril' shot.

“We keep on working, we do our thing,” Vettel shouts over the team radio, “We are who we are!”

"Vettel is a champion. That’s not referring to his achievements, but rather to his approach to everything he does. He wins. All the time. His preparation is meticulous, his attention to detail reminiscent of Michael Schumacher at his peak, and his performance on the track is almost always flawless. Vettel is capable only of domination. He knows no other way... Vettel is not in Formula One to be liked. He is there to win. And in the words of Ayrton Senna, perhaps the greatest of all Formula One drivers, “Nice men don’t win.”"

That Louise Redknapp is hot as hell. I'm in love! Are you sure you couldn't take a pic up her nostrils? I have this fetishism with nostrils...nothing too freakish, it only comes after my fetish for snot and athlete's foot.
Nevermind, I was trying to be funny here but I guess that Jay will say that he finds all this perfectly natural :P

As for the rest of the pics, I like the Surtees ones above all.

But you have a definitely artist eye for pics. Amazing.
