Wheels on fire! Photo

Photographer’s Note

I know there are a lot of pictures here about Formula 1. But I wanted to show this picture of Fernando Alonso braking from 300km/h down to 60km/h at Formula 1 Grand Prix of Canada. This is quite a show here in Canada and is a must, even if you are not a F1 fan.
Just look at how brakes come red hot (over 2000 degrees) when these spectacular machines are braking at their most demanding spot on the circuit. The smell, noise, and speed of these cars are much much more seen on a race track than on TV so come along and see for yourself next year here in Montreal!
