Reason: We have very little FPs from Formula One. This one has particular significance since it shows current Drivers' World Champion Lewis Hamilton on his way to victory at the most prestigious race on the calendar, the Monaco Grand Prix. The composition is great, the colors stunning and the car driving through the relentless rain adds to the flavor.

Comment Lots of chromatic noise, but otherwise acceptable given the speed and such. Can we get a noise reduction? Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 14:18, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support – I hope those F1 cars have ABS! Sca (talk) 13:49, 4 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Sca: Due to "don't be a sissy, you're a Formula 1 driver" ;) Zwerg Nase (talk) 17:56, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You'll be glad to know that neither of my ancient vehicles has ABS. Does this qualify me as an F1 driver? Sca (talk) 00:29, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support The photo is somewhat under-utilised in both articles (where its simply one of many photos of race cars), but it's an excellent dramatic shot with strong EV Nick-D (talk) 02:18, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support – I agree the photo is stunning. It's a shame that there are not many Formula One featured pictures on this site. Z105space (talk) 07:44, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support - I think this would be a very good picture for Rain tyre also. - hahnchen 08:13, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Question Can this be closed with positive result? Zwerg Nase (talk) 07:28, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- @Zwerg Nase: It has to run the full period first, but with eight supports and no opposes, it's basically passed. Give it a couple more hours for the timer to tick over, then it should be closed pretty quickly - Armbrust never seems to be away very long. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 11:33, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Adam Cuerden: Sorry, I misread, I thought it was yesterday at noon... Zwerg Nase (talk) 12:34, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Must be something wrong with your Zeitgeist, Zwerg. Sca (talk) 13:23, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
