Well, its been a while since I went to the Formula 1 Grand Prix, but the chance of a wander through the pit lane and F1 garages got me in the car for the 900km trip to Melbourne on Friday.
As it turned out, I missed the chance for a pit lane walk, but still enjoyed seeing the F1 cars blasting around the track. The car in the photo above is one of the Formula 5000 cars that raced on the Saturday that I was there.
Photography of the cars them selves is virtually impossible these days. As you can see from the photo, you are shooting through very heavy wire mesh fencing. You cant get close enough to it to use a wide aperture to blur it any more. God what I would have given for a press pass that day.
