Former F1 Team Principal Otmar Szafnauer caused a stir online with recent comments suggesting that Lewis Hamilton times his arrivals at the track so he can be photographed wearing "ridiculous" outfits by the world media, compared to Max Verstappen, who is "always the first in". But is this actually true? As someone who photographs most of the drivers arriving during a grand prix weekend, I can tell you what actually happens. #f1 #formula1 #lewishamilton #maxverstappen #otmarszafnauer
