Photographer access to F1 races is a *very* tightly controlled business.

When I was in Montreal for the inaugural CART race I was amazed to find
that the good photo stands were all tagged and labelled.  A photographer
would get his access pass to one particular photo spot for the F1 race;
none of the wandering around the track and gentlemanly sharing of spots
that I see on the CART (or ALMS) circuit.
