Good set but the second shot of Kimi's sunglasses is just wonderful and is head and shoulders above the rest - printable and sellable (even more so if you have a version with his whole face shown) ! I also like #6 as runner-up.

6 is a cracking shot appeals to me no end. Just watched the race and unusually it kept me glued.

I actually focused on his glasses, because it was tricky trying to frame his full features between all the TV crews' heads and cameras. This was as close as I got, but I prefer the other shot...

Love number 2 just the sort of shot you see on the newspaper back page.
