This is only my test picture. I’ll be posting a full album from my DSLR later next week.

It is insane just how big these events are and how surprisingly well organized everything has been. Really impressed overall with how alive everything has been.

I had earplugs plus noise canceling headphones on and the engines were still clear as day. Absolutely insane how fast they go. GA is sat right around the sphere and it’s a pretty heavy breaking zone. Even then, trying to track the cars for a good shot proved really challenging. Definitely pushed my skills.

And totally unrelated, but I also learned OneRepublic is responsible for like 90% of the modern pop radio that I hate. So that was fun to sit through…

Isn't it insane how quick they are through the corners? Compare to the safety car that is a very fast production car, tuned for the track, which absolutely rips around the track, and is so much slower.

If you can, get to a race with f2, f3 and gt support races. It really highlights the differences in speed

The Ferrari Challenge cars gave a great comparison. The Ferrari’s were just matching F1 cruising speed at their fastest around the Sphere. Seriously impressive speeds during qualifying.

Obviously Russell and Hamilton are looking the best right now. But you never know. That's what's great!

No shot! I would maybe put Russell on the podium though...
