F1 photographer Mark Sutton talks ESPN through his six favourite shots from two of the most iconic races on the calendar, Spa-Francorchamps and Monza.Catch me if you canCamera: Nikon D5 | Lens: 24-70mm F2.8 | Shutter speed: 1/320th of a second | Aperture: F6.3 | ISO: 200This was an amusing moment at the end of the race. This guy was a fire marshal at the far end of the straight, and when the race ended and the fans poured on to the track for the podium ceremony he was in no mood to hang around. For some reason he had this scooter with him and he just bolted. Its something different but also nice because you can see the fans sprinting down to get the best view of the podium, one of the things that makes races like Spa -- in traditional F1 heartland -- so special compared to some of the newer additions to the calendar.The best corner in F1?Camera: Nikon D5 | Lens: Nikkor 24-70mm F2.8 | Shutter speed: ?1/250th of a second with flash | Aperture: ?F5.6 | ?ISO: 1600I went out to Eau Rouge on Friday afternoon and it is still truly breathtaking, regardless of what people say about the new cars. Its still an amazing corner to go to, you dont get a real sense of the speed until you are sat right there watching them fly past you. The great bit about standing here, on the inside of the bottom of the hill, is you can see the line they take through the rest of the corner. If you look closely you can see it on the road further up. I chose this shot because the car is blurry, adding to the sense of how fast they are going at this point.The line of dutyCamera: Nikon D5 | Lens: Nikkor 70-200mm F2.8 | Shutter speed: 1/250th of a second | Aperture: F4 | ISO: 1600There was a lot more security for the race at Spa -- it was very obvious when you were there, with armed police all over the place. That sort of thing has the potential to unnerve some people. While he was signing autographs, Lewis Hamilton went over to one of them and signed his overalls on the arm. It was a nice moment -- it took away some of the tension of them being there, and the soldier really seemed to appreciate it. Any moment you can capture a driver being normal, doing something you dont tend to see on the cameras, is a great shot because it makes them seem more human rather than just these stars driving fast cars.?Farewell, FelipeCamera: NikonD5 | Lens: ?Nikkor 70-200mm F2.8 | Shutter Speed: 1/640th of a second | Aperture: ?F7.1 | ISO: 200Everyone agrees Felipe Massa is one of the nice guys of the paddock and this was a lovely send-off for him at Monza. Ive never seen a spontaneous ovation for a driver at a press conference but thats what he got after his initial statement. He was clearly emotional about it and had his whole family at the front row.There were a few jokes about his son, Felipinho, being in Formula One one day, but Massas wife didnt look too happy with the suggestion! I suppose Massa now has an enviable situation in that he can do whatever he wants, stock cars in Brazil, Formula E, maybe even go into management. I think hell be missed by F1, a rare character and people forget how close he came to being a world champion.Changing fortunesCamera: Nikon D5 | Lens: Nikkor 14-24mm F2.8 | Shutter Speed:1/125th of a second | Aperture: F16 | ISO: 200I was going to pick a podium shot for Nico Rosberg but this picture stood out as telling a nicer story from the Italian Grand Prix. This is just after qualifying, and Hamilton had just taken pole by half a second. Rosberg was clearly miffed how his teammate could be so much faster and after qualifying he sat looking at the timing screens, wondering where on earth Hamilton had found the time.On Sunday he got the start right, Hamilton got it wrong, and that turned the momentum back in his favour but Rosberg must wonder what he has to do to beat Lewis on days like Saturday. Its also a nice shot because 24 hours later he was on the podium celebrating a win, something he probably didnt imagine when he was sat there.Joe Pepitone Jersey . LOUIS -- Mike Smith is used to facing plenty of shots, so this was nothing new.

The World Anti-Doping Agency provisionally suspended the Moscow Antidoping Center on Sunday, saying its operations must improve or a six-month ban on the facilitys accreditation will be imposed. Ivan Rodriguez Astros Jersey . John Tavares, Thomas Vanek and Kyle Okposo were also being counted on to slow down sizzling Rangers forward Rick Nash. That plan didnt go so well early. Carlos Lee Astros Jersey . Following a lopsided 5-2 loss against the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night, Paul MacLean told reporters that "theres a lack of focus, theres a lack of leadership and theres a lack of preparation" with his struggling team. That came on the heels of Bryan Murray taking the unusual step of going into the locker room at the Prudential Center and addressing the players himself.ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Hector Santiago says he doesnt want to be traded, but if he keeps pitching like he is, he could draw plenty of interest from teams looking to make a playoff push.The non-waiver trading deadline is less than two weeks away, meaning Santiagos start for the Los Angeles Angels Wednesday against the Texas Rangers could be his last if the club decides to deal him.Santiago has a lot going for him -- hes left-handed, he has experience out of the bullpen, and most notably, hes on a roll.Santiago has thrown 22 consecutive innings without giving up an earned run. Hes lost just once over his last nine starts, the club going 7-2 in those games. However, he hasnt been very good against the Rangers, going 0-2 with a 7.07 ERA in three starts this season.The Rangers, though figure to see a different Santiago than the one they saw earlier this season.Its a combination of really good stuff with command, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said of Santiagos impressive stretch. Not only is he getting the ball in the zone, hes getting it into good spots. Hes pitching in well, changing speeds, getting the ball to the outside corner, he has some great life on his stuff.Trading Santiago, though, might not make financial sense to the Angels. Santiago is making $5 million this year and is eligible for arbitration in 2017. He isnt eligible for free agency until 2018.Left-hander Martin Perez will start for Texas.The Rangers figure to be involved in trade talks as well in the coming days, as infielder Jurickson Profar seems to be drawing plenty of interest. He didnt start Tuesdays game against the Angels, but he has started games this seasonn at four different positions -- first base, second base, shortstop and third base -- as well as designated hitter.ddddddddddddAnd now, Profar is taking fly balls in the outfield, expanding manager Jeff Banisters options to get him in the lineup more often. Profar leads the team in hitting with a .316 average.We are trying to expand his skill set, Banister told MLB.com. This is something we talked about. Look, he has been here long enough and we have challenged him to do a number of things and he has answered all the challenges. We like the professional at-bats he gives us. Expanding his versatility helps him out and helps us out. Players force you to either play them or take them out. He continues to play well.Profar said he has no problem moving around the field this year, but wants to be a starting shortstop next year, even if that means a trade.I have no problem with that if its going to make the team better, Profar told MLB.com. That means Im playing very good. That makes me happy.Profars versatility, though, would seem to make him a more valuable tool for the Rangers playoff push.One Ranger who isnt going anywhere is third baseman Adrian Beltre, who loves playing at Angel Stadium. He has more homers (19) and RBI (67) in Anaheim than any other road ballpark.And those 19 homers are the fifth most by any visiting player in Anaheim, trailing Alex Rodriguez (38), Jose Canseco (24), Juan Gonzalez (24), and Rafael Palmeiro (24). All five, by the way, played part of their careers with the Rangers. ' ' '
