Photographer ace, Jamey Price joins our Podcast to talk F1 in 2017.

2016 Italian Grand Prix in Pictures

Jamey Price always shoots with his soul. I know it because the emotion of the moment comes through beautifully in every image. Put him in a place chock full of passion and excitement and the resultant pictures are simply stunning.

September 2, 2016: Monza banking , Italian Grand Prix at Monza

Monza and it’s original banked oval. We’ve all seen it, yet it’s a sight to behold every time. The shade of neighboring trees cast their shadow on the otherwise barren concrete. It’s in stark contrast to the age of cigar shaped 160mph rockets blasting by. Memories.

September 2, 2016: Daniil Kvyat, (RUS), Scuderia Toro Rosso , Italian Grand Prix at Monza

Daniil Kvyat running nearly a car width past the “track limits” of Parabolica. You know, not that long ago Kvyat would’ve been skating off in the grass. Is this real progress? Safer, maybe. But definitely not the same challenge to nail the throttle early while exiting this fast increasing radius corner.

September 3, 2016: Lewis Hamilton (GBR), Mercedes , Italian Grand Prix at Monza

Focusing on Mercedes does put everything else in a blur. According to Jamey, they look incredibly planted compared to the rest. Around Monza, that’s crucial. The lap times prove it.

When Hamilton’s hands touch that wheel, the results devastate the competition. He lapped Monza half a second quicker than Rosberg and third quickest Vettel by nearly nine-tenths.

Race day. No grand prix comes remotely close to the passion seen in Italy, where nearly everyone bleeds Ferrari red. By the way, is that a Finnish flag I see waving atop the prancing horse? Nice.

September 4, 2016: Lewis Hamilton (GBR), Mercedes , Italian Grand Prix at Monza

It’s easy to say in hindsight, but Hamilton looks to lack the intense focus you imagine a driver needs when preparing for the race start.

September 4, 2016: Nico Rosberg (GER), Mercedes , Italian Grand Prix at Monza

Rosberg, on the other hand, stayed focused, nailed the start and put on a clinic. Unlike 2014, he kept his wits and didn’t give Hamilton any chance to steal away this race result.

The Italians didn’t care. Look at the near homogeneous Ferrari red in the stands. That image is mirrored at every grandstand. Look at the attention. It’s Ferrari or nothing.

September 4, 2016: Nico Rosberg (GER), Mercedes , Italian Grand Prix at Monza

Jamey Price captured the entire grand prix in this shot. You can see the elation in Rosberg, the disgust in Hamilton, and the bewilderment in Vettel. How will Ferrari catch Mercedes? It’s a head scratcher.

jprice_italiangp2016-27205

Wow.

September 4, 2016: Sebastian Vettel (GER), Ferrari , Italian Grand Prix at Monza

Vettel feels the love. And it shows. In Italy, it is Ferrari. If you are part of it, you are a hero.
