See this post for details and the larger images, and a shot of Kimi Raikkonen in his Ferrari.

Here’s a summary of shooting techniques Chris used for the race:

1. Shutter speeds in the range of 1/100th to 1/300th of a second were used. This relatively slow range of shutter speeds were used in order to pan the the moving cars and get the effect of blurred backgrounds.
2. The 100-400 lens was put into IS (Image Stabilization) Mode 2 which helped a lot.
3. Chris finds his copy of the 100-400mm to be pin sharp. Chris also shared an example of airshow pictures shot with the 100-400L lens.
