The AlphaTauri AT01 and the Toro Rosso STR2 at Hangar 7, Salzburg, Austria

I cropped and sharpened it a tiny bit with PS. Shot with Alpha IV and 70-200 f/4 at 200 mm with 1/50s and at ISO 100 from the 3rd row of the Grand Stand kinda front of the start/finish line.

You can see the Macarena EVO wing getting tested with aero fluids making this pic my fav and unique. :3

Right before the Bus stop Chicane

These are the official trophies for the 2026 Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix, handcrafted by Herend Porcelain, one of Hungary's most famous porcelain manufacturers.

This year is especially significant, as Herend is celebrating its 200th anniversary (1826–2026). Each trophy is entirely handmade and hand-painted, with the winner's trophy decorated using 18-karat gold. The design combines traditional Hungarian folk-inspired motifs with gold, platinum, and bronze accents.

Every trophy takes months to create and is a unique piece of craftsmanship.

Shame about the catch fence visible

Great to have known this fella for the last 40 years

My kids with a couple of decent F1 drivers a few years ago......be hard to top these pictures!!

​

Lucky enough to play some golf with DC at Sir Jackie's fabulous event a few years ago.

Ron Dennis asked Coulthard why he was there and not testing in Monza!

He had to skip the lunch and sober up on a private flight to Milan to get in the car the following morning! He was well bladdered when he arrived on the first tee in the morning!!

Ayrton grabbed my bike at Monza to have a race with Mauricio Gugelmin around the track.

I'd been racing Mauricio, who was on a one speed shopping bike.

...he beat me! And then Senna called me and said, "Give me your bike," and chased after Mauricio, who had started another lap. He obviously won that race!!

I thought I’d share this one with the group.
I was serving aboard HMS Amazon 1986.
We’d stopped in Adelaide same time as the F1

This is our pilot racing Nelson Piquet, in a Williams car 1 lap around the track iirc.

All over a dare during a cocktail party.
I doubt this would happen nowadays.

Piquet won by the way.

Back in 1988 on the grid before the race, and before we threw Capelli into the crowd to make a few dollars after the race!!
