Our Top 10 Pictures from the Formula 1 70th Anniversary Grand Prix
August 11, 2020
Here's a run down of our favorite 10 images from last weekend's action at Silverstone.
As usual, Haas F1 official photographer Andy Hone has chosen his top capture of the weekend which this time sees Kevin racing through the Silverstone greenery.
Andy's Take: "F1 70 was an interesting challenge for us on track. Shooting a Grand Prix weekend where there isn’t often a lot of dynamic angles for one weekend let alone two, it was really about utilising what we had and trying to get different angles and heights on the corners that we do have available to us.
"There were also a couple of new shots to be found in places we wouldn’t normally be able to access because of the lack of infrastructure setup to enable spectators.
"I was really happy to find this pan shot in an empty campsite shooting through the trees, bushes and catch fencing on 1/15th of a second. It just goes to show if you look hard enough you can find new things on a track you’ve shot for years."
Keeping the distance: Broadcaster Interviews followed the Thursday drivers’ press conference, in the new-look ‘horseshoe’ bull pen. Romain is pictured chatting to Will Buxton from F1TV whilst Kevin is interviewed by French rights-holders Canal+.

Eyes on the action: The team keep an eye on Friday’s on-track proceedings on the in-garage TV screens.
Fast and furious! Romain rounds the infamous Maggotts and Becketts complex, one of the fastest sections of corners on the Formula 1 calendar.

Quali chase: Kevin follows Romain out as the first two cars on track during Qualifying’s Q1 session.
Grid rush: The Formula 1 grid might often look like a glamorous place to be, but for the mechanics and technicians it’s always a busy hive of activity. Here, Kevin’s crew get the grid trolleys set up ahead of his arrival at the back of the grid following his laps to grid.
Wheel-to-wheel: Romain in very close battle with Alfa Romeo’s Antonio Giovinazzi during the race on Sunday.
