What makes this photo special for me is that the youngsters are all fans of Lewis and they were proud to show it. That impressed me a lot. I wanted to see the track from a balcony, and they invited me in for a coffee.

The way he’s surfing on top of the crowd – what an amazing image that is. He just jumped into a sea of his fans. You very rarely see anything like that anymore. The fans are carrying him along, and they don’t drop him!

Also a great picture. You won’t see a picture like this from any other podium celebration. It’s unique to Monza. You can just make out Lewis, spraying champagne into the crowd.

This makes me think of an eagle. It is sensational how he spreads his arms just like a bird spreads its wings. Like an eagle on top of a Silver Arrow.

The picture is extraordinary for me because of the way that Lewis is embracing Senna's helmet. Simply fantastic. It clearly shows how much he loves the helmet and Ayrton Senna.

Terrific. Lewis is protecting his mother from all the camera crews. It shows how much love he has for his mother.

A fantastic backdrop. Lewis is in the lower left corner, driving his car through Monaco. Extraordinary.

This is by far the best podium picture we have of him. Great lighting, champagne spraying, the look of sheer joy on his face. Really great.

The whole team are happy. They are showing their delight and satisfaction.

This picture makes it look like it's Christmas. That's a quite unusual sight - three cars side by side on the home straight and the fireworks illuminating the sky. A special moment.
