Make that a me too! I was able to get Michael, Reubens, Ralf, and Jaques 
that way at practice for the Canadian Grand Prix with my new 70-180 
(which now has a well-deserved little battle scar on the lip of the 
hood - gosh I'm starting to think like Kyle =:O ) During the race itself 
they wouldn't let me near the fence, only the guys with the brown FIA 
vests and long C*n*n glass (or is that plastic?). Like any other kind of 
photography, half the trick is access.
