Thank you everyone. This picture was takan the F1 GP qualifying in Shanghai in 2007. Because the stands were not jam packed on saturday, I could choose my spot and chose to stand by the finish line to add some content to the picture. Because it was raining that day the colors were more dramatic. The only post processing applied was color saturation, nothing else. What comes out at the back of the car is actually water, not smoke. This is Lewis Hamilton driving his Mc Laren. I wish I could sell him (or Mc Laren or the sponsor(s)) this picture but my guess is they have much better ones already. And because Hamilton ended up in the gravel pit at the entry of the pit line the next and lost the championship, I guess he'd rather forget this particular race :). You can see more pictures of that day (you will see that the ones under the sun the next day don't look as good) or other motorsports here: www.moraxe.com/Motorsports/

This is such an amazing shot, really you've got nothing to lose by trying to sell this to Hamilton's team. Congrats on such a great photo and congrats on it being featured :)

This is an amazing shot, and I love the colors! Beautifully done. I think Sisko2112 is right--you've got nothing to lose in trying to sell the photo. They'd be crazy not to want it!
