So 2014 is rapidly coming to an end...what a year it has been, 2013 seemed like a very quiet year in comparison.

2014 with 27 weekends away from home is probably telling me that I shall find a cheaper accommodation to live at for next year as I am never at home :p

Anyway

1 - F1 Photographers at the Jerez Formula 1 Pre-season testing. (quite well-known ones :D)

2 - A good come-back for Kamui.

3 - In Malaysia Lewis was already crying about the conspiracy theories against him at Mercedes...:p

4 - There is nothing quite like shooting at night.

5 - Back in Europe I was lucky to witness the fight for the Formula 3 Championship between these young guns...this was before Verstappen get much media attention #rememberthisname ?

6 - Back with the DTM I headed to Hockenheim with this shot in my mind having failed to made it last time out. I knew it I could take it only on Friday as you are not allowed to access that grandstand on Saturday and Sunday, I was lucky to get a few keepers. :p

7 - Not even the time to get back home I was heading to Pau for the Formula 3 Grand Prix, this is probably my favorite "track" in the world, It is unbelievable the amount of different pictures you can take at that track, and you can eat macarons from the media centre. :p

8 - Several things changed in my personal live within a few weeks and kinda lost my motivation for a big part of the year, luckily I met some nice people at the Hungaroring which helped me a lot throughout the year. :)

9 - Monaco, Hungary and Canada back to back wasn't the best and I ended up in Montreal with a massive back pain, it was a pity because the track is really lovely but couldn't walk that much especially, carrying around heavy equipment.

10 - Austria was indeed a very good event, Red Bull did an amazing job over the weekend to make sure that everything was perfect and I think they made it.

11 - Back with the DTM/F3 at the Norisring, it used to be one of my favorite events of the year but this year wasn't quite special...

12 - I guess this made a few people happy...

13 - A week after the British GP I was heading to Moscow for the DTM/F3, without a doubt the weekend I least enjoyed during the whole year for more than a reason.

14 - Whilst my personal issues was still annoying me back in Hungary I think I had one of my best weekend of the year.

15 - On his first outing as a Red Bull Junior Max didn't fail to impress.

16 - The moment when I thought this guy could spoil the Mercedes Party...

27 weekends away? Not...jealous...at...all.... :p

Seriously though, some absolutely amazing shots in there capturing not just the event but bringing emotion to the scene as well. Gives me all sorts of ideas for when I next go to a motorsport event.

I hope your personal problems have sorted themselves out and you can continue to deliver more excellent images next year.
 
Stunning selection. Looks like a pretty fun year!? :D

#6, #20 and #22 are my favourite of the bunch. Look forward to seeing what 2015 brings now!
