F1 Canadian Grand Prix.
I was just invited to go shoot The Italy Grand Prix @ Monza. Here is a shot I took of Michael Schumacher @ The Canadain Grand Prix a couple of years back. I flew up to photograph this "SICK RACE" when I was still an AP GUY. F1  Associated Press was so good to me in the days... goodtimes
