The new 2015 cars are sparking more than ever before. I noticed the Toro Rossos throwing out trails of sparks as they hit the uneven surface of the Albert Park circuit. This shot was taken just at the braking zone for Turn 1, and the use of a slow shutter not only gives the emphasis of speed but also highlights the glowing sparks.
