Lando Norris - Sparks Through the Senna Ss - Brazil

Lando Norris exiting turn 2 at Interlagos; 2023 Brazilian Grand Prix.

 

This was early on in the race. With heavy fuel still onboard, Norris attacked the curb and his car bottomed out generating sparks on exit through the Senna S. He is going around 200kph at this point.

 

The Mclaren is the most beautiful livery on the grid; on a sunny day like it was on race day; it looked amazing at speed.

 

This was a very difficult shot for me. I have never shot motorsports with the Z50 and a kit tele before. It took many shots to find the correct shutter speed that would give me blurred tires and road, yet have the driver and car livery sharp.

At 200kph, 1/125 of a second at f13 did the trick.
