The Hungarian Grand Prix left an unusual image off the track. Among the accredited photographers covering the weekend's activities was Petr Pavel, president of the Czech Republic, who combined one of his great passions with his official agenda by attending the Hungaroring as the official photographer.
Equipped with professional cameras and FIA accreditation, the president closely followed the Sunday activities alongside Czech Formula 1 photographer Jiri Krenek, capturing images of the cars from various sectors of the circuit.
Pavel's presence was neither an improvisation nor an isolated event. The Czech president is a recognized fan of sports photography and has been taking advantage of his free time to cover motorsport competitions for several years. In June, for example, he was at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the same role, while previously he attended MotoGP tests and World Superbike in Brno, in addition to traveling to the United States to photograph NASCAR and to Saudi Arabia to follow the Dakar Rally.
