Sebastian Vettel on his way to victory in China on Sunday is the subject of the latest edition in our series of photographs aimed at conveying Formula 1 in its full glory.

The photographs are taken by Darren Heath, who over the last 20 years has carved a reputation as one of the best photographers in F1.

This is Darren's story behind his latest image:

"Shooting Formula 1 in the rain is - despite what you may think - very enjoyable and a real challenge for the photographer.

"Of course it's not much fun getting wet but it's a small price to pay for the glossy track, rooster tail of spray and red light, all great picture-making ingredients.

"Vettel is seen here blasting past the pits on his imperious way to his second Grand Prix win. The fact that both were sodden affairs would seem to suggest that Sebastian loves the conditions too!"

Camera details: Canon EOS1DS Mk3. 20mm lens. 13th second @ f22
