Well broke in the 40D at the Malaysian F1 with 70-200 + 2 times converter was happy with this shot, hard to take shot of cars going 300klms and slowing down to 80 klms.

Man, this is awesome. The reason I bought my 40D is because i wanted to shoot F1. I went to Monza last year with my Sony DSC F717 and I realized it was too slow.
I feel sorry for Massa, otherwise it would have been a Ferrari 1-2:-)

I need to say that I do not like the composition, although some elements of the photograph are nice. Red breaks are nice, but you could try and capture full cars. I guess this is Nick Heidfeld passing Alonso and Webber, correct? As far as I remember, there was some space in front of Nick so that you could focus on his full car while his was passing Renault and Red Bull. This is just my opinion.

At those speeds, with a side-on shooting position, you're lucky to get anything in frame . . .
The St Andrews Cross helmet says it's David Couldthard in the Red Bull rather than Webber. :)

I was actually going for the red glowing brakes, the fact I got 3 in a line made it all the better.

Hi Gary,
I really like it, works well for me, but I guess it's partly because I saw this action on TV and still feel the tension of that moment. ;)
How do you like the 40D, is that quick? (from the focusing pov)
Cheers
Matthieu

Hate to say it but the 40D its better than the 1D at the moment, still fighting with Canon Malaysia to fix it, they have had it two times and only ajusted it. When I requested the upgrade they keep saying its not needed but I'm still have focusing issuse indoors.

I prefer not to crop or reduce photo size so I loaded it as .pdf
