Good article, I used to shoot F1 on Nikon FM and a cheap 300mm lens. It was more about standing in the right spot and as you say following the cars and pressing the shutter at the correct moment.
Great post. I'm an amateur and I love photography, but I can't afford to keep up with the technology arms race that's been going on. Far from it. I'm proud and happy with what I can get from my Nikon apc bodies and third party lenses. I'm far more excited by the advancements in software that you so ably present. As with my darkroom in the past, (I'm that old) this is where a lot of the fun and creativity takes place, and can overcome hardware limitations. Thanks for what you do.

Always always always. Folks underestimate the finer parts of the glass. Beyond f8, most things are rocking.
this essay has to be true otherwise how did all those previous great photos, taken decades ago with 'lesser' cameras and lenses, manage to be taken?
100% agree. Skill and eye trump gear almost always
