With glamorous scenery and lots of close-up vantage points, there is no more photogenic Grand Prix venue than Monte-Carlo.
Here’s a bumper crop of images of F1 cars in action during today’s practice sessions.

It would be so awesome if the EXIF data was still in the pics so nerds like me could figure out how those talented guys take those photos!

The circuit photographers always fascinate me. If I`m not careful I end up watching them more than the cars.
The way they swing themselves (like teeing off in golf) each time a car passes & then take a quick look in their viewer to see what they got is like some strange dance particularly when there`s more than one of them close together.
I`ve got some video of them at work beside the track in Casino Square & also on a crane at Ste Devoe.

How come there is not a single picture of Red Bull’s new double decker diffuser…?

Don’t think so, as can be seen from:

Great pics. I was really hoping to see a good close-up of Red Bulls new diffuser. Anybody else think the Red Bull nose is absolutely awesome O:) …

Any word from RBR or the drivers on what they think of the new diffuser? Feel of the car or performance?

not heard anything yet, but I’d be suprised if it has a significant effect at Monaco.
It will do in Turkey however I’m sure… get your squids on Vettel for that one!

I love it when F1 goes to Monaco, and by fluke I’m off work this week!!!!. Great pics Keith. Maybe you could introduce a pit babes section ala ITV.
Did anybody have a good pic of the new RB diffuser?
Fingers crossed FOTA, FOM and FIA sort things out today!!!

This discussion has come up before! I don’t care for the idea myself, I think it would cheapen the site. Always interested to hear people’s opinions though.
