Formula 1

I had the opportunity to go to and photograph the Canadian Gran Prix in Montreal last month. My first time to such an event, and thoroughly enjoyed the time spent there.

I was also able to walk along the pits before the races.

A fine set, John. Blimey, that wheel looks complicated.

A fine set, John. Blimey, that wheel looks complicated.

That wheel Pete is, if I'm not mistaken, a control board
A fine series of images though!

Thank you for the comments, Pete and Ivar. Ivar you are correct about the wheel - it is basically a control board for the electronics the engine. The cost for that steering wheel is $25K.
