 Shot of Jenson Button driving his McClaren Mercedes through the notorious Turn 10 in the 2010 Formula 1 Singtel Singapore Grand Prix. Probably will NOT do too well in a FS.

Given the difficulty in capturing this shot , I just had to enter it. I was panning (hand-held) with my Sigma 300mm f2.8. I also has to shoot though the metal protective grilles that were approx 15 feet away.

Hope those that recognize the technique appreciate the shot.

So jealous you were there! Nice shot too though I would have loved to see the carbon fibre disc breaks glowing orange as happened in most of the slow corners.
