Hungarian Grand Prix: Best view in the house
Mark Sutton: "I love this photo; I'm not only in the prime position, but it also captures the atmosphere of this historic track in Hungary. I actually arrived there very early in order to be on 'pole position' in the corner. Once I was up there it was hectic with so many incidents happening one after another. I was swapping camera and position and, once the race ended, I knew the podium was going to be special. I was in the right place and started as Sebastian Vettel arrived into parc ferme, then with the team and the podium activity to showcase this great spot. I managed to get all the drivers looking up by shouting at them! This image was taken during the national anthem, which gives you a little time to change lenses and take something different."
