      Given your coming to Montreal next I thought I would ask as he was a famous mixed blood First Nations who was a key player in our Canadian history. Just a fun fact.

    I love how you don't just take pictures of the cars as they race but also of the area and the fashion. You also tell the stories behind the drivers and the race that help those of us who don't follow F1 racing to appreciate their skill as well as yours. Love it!

    My late husband introduced me to racing in Toronto and I was hooked. We always wanted to attend Monaco. Alas. Love your work btw. Suggestion, I would add a map of the course as you explain the turns and the shots you take at the turns, where you set up etc. What a fabulous job and life. Thank you for sharing the adventures.

    ELATED for Charles Leclerc!🥂🍾
    The only Formula 1 race I’ve seen live, was in Monaco in the late 70’s during my first trip to Europe.💖 I was near the tunnel which really emphasized just how fast they were going as the cars were visible for only a split second!!😲
    In my home town of Portland Oregon our speedway held the CART races. ⭐️⭐️Most memorable for me in 1989 because the legendary Emerson Fittipaldi won and I got to meet him and have my picture taken with him!!🤩 (My ticket let me into the area where they loaded up their cars & gear😉)

    Monaco is a very photogenic race however it is nearly always a snoozefest. This year was only worth it to see the emotional reaction of LeClerc and the Royal family as Charles is not a rich migrant but a true local reaching the top of such a demanding sport.

    • @MichaelPottsF1

    Without a doubt CL winning is what everyone wanted. He jumped out of the car and everyone wanted it. He could go home and have mum cook him dinner🤣
