“And so in those moments: after a Sauber pa🐷ssed by, the uniform noise as the cars passed was as if it had stopped for a moment anღd I understood that something was about to happen. Then the collision."
He explained: "There were about ten ꦕof us, now I only have a bruise after the impact.
“Those who suffered the most damage may have thrown themselves to the ground to ༺take cover𒅌.
“No serious consequences.
"I was there because I used a wide-angle 𒁏len꧟s for the start.
“I wanted to show a bit of t🦄he surrounding context, so the city, the details of the track and the huge number of cars. In short, it was an interesting part to work in."
After reviewing the incident, the photographer refused to pla꧃ce blame with the F1 drivers𒀰.
"If I put myself iཧn the driver's shoes, I m꧑ust say that in a certain sense I understand Magnussen,” he said.
“In a race where it is very difficult to overtake, perhaps in that situa🦋tion he saw the only glimmer of opportunity to succeed.
“I don't feel like accusing or condemning him."
Despite his lucky near-miss, he is back at work this 🎉weekend🀅.
"No, no fear,” the photographer explained.
“So much so that I imm𝓀ediately r𓆉eturned to the track and will also be on track [this] weekend at Mugello for the MotoGP.
"In Monaco there is no safety problem.
“I know that circuit well and if there were no serious conse🐼quences after the impact it is also because the guardrails are very solid, as are the posts in the asphalt.
“I think that track offers many more certainties when compared to others and♔ other situations.
“I'm thinking for example oꦓf the accident involving Zhou (with Albon) at Silverstone 𒈔in 2022.
“Maybe the show isn't exciting on the track, but the 🦩safety standards are high. And in any case we are all aware that there is a risk in doing this job."
