Zoom in: British Grand Prix

When I was a kid, I used to come to the British Grand Prix and camp with my dad, and it was the best weekend of the year. You would look forward to it for months, whereas it's very different now I'm working in F1.

The weekend is always one of the busiest of the year - but I still enjoy it to be honest. You don't dread it, but you know it is going to be very busy. It's a flat out event and there's always a sense of relief when you get to the end of it.

In terms of pictures, it's not the best. But it comes alive on race day. It is a bit like the Spanish or Italian races - it is a proper event, but until Sunday it doesn't really pick up. However, when the grandstands fill up and you get a proper crowd and atmosphere, it is a great race and a great grand prix.

The classic shots

Becketts remains one of the great places to watch F1 cars from - wherever you are at the corner.

I am a man who is stuck in a bit of an F1 time warp and I remember pictures from the 1970's and '80's - coming around Club, or through Becketts with a big lonely sky. You can still recreate shots like this - and I have done here.

For this shot, I was standing halfway between Copse and Maggotts. It is a nice picture and even standing there the F1 cars look so spectacular. You can see them loaded up - the tyres are sometimes distorted and you can really see it in a still picture. It is a great place to watch.

Bridge corner always used to be good. There was that classic Silverstone shot where they came over the brow after Abbey - and it was probably one of the nicest shots at the track, but unfortunately that has gone with the revisions they've made.

Copse is also good on race day because the grandstands are packed there. But until then, it's not great a place.

If I was a spectator coming on race day, I think one of the best places for a good picture and a good view is down through the Vale and Club. You can see quite a lot of the track from there.
