F1i's Top Shots of 2018 from XPB's Laurent Charniaux

Silverstone - Rush Hour!

Despite it's legendary status and heritage, Silverstone isn't exactly a F1 photographer's favourite circuit. Access is difficult, its back drop is monotonous and character is at a premium, but the venue still remains one of the world's truly great Grand Prix circuits.

"It's not easy for us, but for the drivers it's a track where they can definitely stretch themselves and the capabilities of their car. I think this panning shot of Hamilton at speed perfectly illustrates that."
