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

Melbourne - A scintillating Ricciardo

"It's always great when you can play around with the surrounding light," says Laurent as he looks back at this picture of a sparkling Daniel Riccardo racing around Albert Park.

"I may have a tendency to do this more than my colleagues. But whether it's a criteria to produce a good picture depends on individual preference, and on the preference of those who employ you.

"Perhaps a good picture is a shot no one else has. It takes a fair amount of experience to produce something "different". And luck when you find yourself in the right place at exactly the right time."
