  • The 2022 Aussie Grand Prix broke F1's record for the biggest ever crowd. There was plenty to see in the picturesque paddock, on the unique Melbourne Walk and out on track and I saw it all from the huge crowds, Maclaren's improved performance and the Ferrari celebration of Leclerc's win. Let me tell you more in this 10min video. Oh, and you'll find 2200+ pics from the event at www.prostarpics.com and you can order the hot-off-the-press Australian F1 GP photo book now at www.kymillman.com (click SHOP and Photo Books) for delivery to most countries.

    I was at the race yesterday. Believe it or not, the photo of Lewis pointing in the thumbnail is actually when my cousin showed him a British race helmet when he passes by in the Cobra around Stewart grand stand. Out of 300-400 fans in the crowd, this one kid was the standout out of everyone!!! He’ll never forget that moment in his life now and the smile he still has is adorable!!

      Really? What engine do they have in those? Just wondering because those cars, like the original are known to be hard drive fast. Short wheel base makes them spin, I'm thinking letting tourists run loose with them isn't the best idea?
