Hi there wave.gif

I love the following picture (found in the last Andy Soucek article) and I'd like to know if there is any possibility to have it in high-res, much like the pictures in the gallery.



Thanks in advance kiss.gif

Late to the party I know, but it's available now: http://www.autosport.com/gallery/photo.php/id/1315263

It's not exactly the same (and not Andy Soucek btw), but thanks.

It seems that the pictures used in articles never get to the Autosport Gallery.

That's too bad really.

Thanks!

Sad though that I pay my Autosport subscription and don't get to have this photo in hi-res like the others...

The pictures in the gallery are selected by me, the pictures for the news by whoever is adding the story (which may or may not be who wrote it) so there is often very little linking the images together.

In the case of that shot we already had plenty of pictures of Soucek and there was a sequence taken from that angle so I try to use photos of drivers who may not be as prominent, in this case Jason Moore.

If you want your own copy of Andy Soucek, or any other image in our F2 gallery or from the F2 website, contact their press officer simon.melluish@formulatwo.com

All the photos are taken by Sutton Images but they are paid for by F2 for promotional purposes so they may be willing to send you a desktop size.

Thanks a lot for your answer Ross, it's very clear now.

Can we hope, in the future, to get even more pictures in the gallery, or is it too expensive for you?
Ross Stonefeld
What you see in the gallery is often the 'best of', from the original selection and there are lot of repeats of the same car from slightly different angles. As it stands we do 25-30,000 images a year and it's hard to imagine adding more or even being able to do more.

Okay, understood.

Thanks again folks ;)
