Formula 1 content creators shared their favorite photographs from the 2025 season. Images highlighted captured moments of speed and intensity in Monaco, emotional celebrations in Abu Dhabi, and team unity during pre-season testing in Bahrain. Other favorites included candid shots of drivers smiling in the rain, focused portraits, and a black and white image celebrating a Constructors' Championship victory.

“The image isn’t actually quite in focus, but in this instance, I kind of like that – and I promise, I did take some sharp ones! But this one stood out to me. I think it conveys the speed and intensity of the cars. “I captured this from the balcony of an apartment that the team was using to host some of our partners across the Monaco Grand Prix weekend, which gave us a unique aerial viewpoint we wouldn’t normally get the opportunity to shoot from. In terms of the technical side of capturing this image, the general rule for shooting a car on track to get a blurry background is to match your shutter speed to the speed of the car. If a car is doing 60mph, you want to be at 1/60, and then pan with your camera to keep the car in the same spot of your viewfinder. When capturing F1 cars going 180mph, this is naturally a bit trickier… once you have that nailed, you can drop your shutter speed lower to enhance the blur – this makes the car harder to keep in focus, which is likely what happened to me here, but sometimes that makes the image.” “I got this shot during the aftermath of the team photo in Abu Dhabi. It was an incredibly emotional time for the team, and I feel like this shot captures a piece of it. I love the composition, the arms and bottles entering the frame from the top, the liquid frozen in time, the pit board details, and the confetti alluding to what has just happened. Pure chaos, with Lando at the centre of it all, grinning from ear to ear, and taking in the moment.” “This was captured during a filming day at the 2025 pre-season testing in Bahrain. This was our first opportunity to capture the drivers in their overalls, alongside the 2025 car, and I also wanted to include the pit crew because I felt that incorporating the team would really help to bring the photos to life. I consider this to be my favourite image because it was the first time I had done anything like this: posed and intentional. This image feels powerful as it represents the entire team, not just the two drivers.” “Is this the most stylistic shot? No. But what I love about this image is that in the pouring rain, just before a key race in the middle of a big Championship battle, Lando and Oscar have found something to laugh and smile about, and you can almost hear their distinct laughs coming through. “It's just a nice photo that makes you smile, and I feel that sometimes, pulling on an emotion, is what a good image is all about. One thing that can, at times, be difficult to remember, particularly with all of the stresses that top-level sports can provide, is just how much fun racing is and how lucky we are to be able to work this environment.” “While the shot is a complete silhouette, I like the fact that you can still easily tell, not only that it is Oscar, but I think that you can also feel from this image that he is dialled in and focused for the job ahead. “I like the colour and light gradients, and the leading lines in the shot. I also think that the low, abstract angle makes Oscar look like a giant, and I think that’s pretty sweet.” “This image was captured following our Constructors’ Championship victory at the Singapore Grand Prix. Those who had worked the race at the track had returned from the race and were celebrating the victory with the entire team at the factory. This particular image shows Zak, Andrea, Lando, and Oscar holding the Constructors’ trophy up high in the air. “I decided to make the image black and white to give it a timeless, classic feel, in line with the significance and history of the Constructors’ Championship trophy. And the sunlight beaming through the glass windows just makes this even more dreamlike.”
