Yes
A really late set from this year's Abu Dhabi GP. By no means brilliant, lots of crap and lots of fuzzy photos.

The floodlights gave off a really horrible light which made the photos look poo, they also got in the way of much of the panning. No where near as good as our seats at Bahrain but a great venue (even if it was rubbish on TV with no overtaking) and a fantastic atmosphere.

Not after crit, simply comments and fluffy kitten type!!

Hope you enjoy.

Nice shots. You seemed to to get a bit closer to the action that I did. Really like 6 and 10. What lens were you using for these, the 70-200? I found that the lighting really hurt me using an F4, and had to bump the ISO up too much.
 
The wide shots were with a 24-70L and the big zoom shots were with a 70-200 2.8L alhough they have been cropped, not by much though.

Cheers for all you comments guys. Keep them coming.

i like 5 a lot....can the light in 11 not be got rid of with cloning?
 
Nice. Love the Porker shot. Good sense of atmosphere in these.
