Best of F1 Big Picture 2009

The middle of January is a little late for end of year round ups and season reviews, but in our defence, F1 Minute has only just acquired a blog section in which to put content such as this.

F1 Big Picture started back in January 2009, and managed to cover the entire of last season in picture format. Every day Formula 1 photographers traipse the globe capturing the fastest cars and the most important events with their gigantic lenses. With so many fabulous images taken throughout the course of last year, we wanted to collect together our favourites as a reminder of season we experienced.
