The stars of Formula 1 have taken photographs for a charity auction organised by Zoom on 7 February in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity. Here is a selection of the photographs, beginning with a picture of the Caterham pit crew by Giedo van der Garde.
Adrian Sutil: "I took this picture during a tour through the Swiss Alps. It combines all of my passions: nature, cars, driving, Alps, Switzerland and home. It's here that I come to restore my energy levels after a busy weekend of Formula 1."
Nico Rosberg: "At the wheel of the 1938 W 154 in Stuttgart. Self-portrait."
Fernando Alonso: "I took this photo on the podium at the 2013 Italian Grand Prix. Stepping on to the Monza podium is always a special feeling, as it’s the only one where you can feel all the love that the fans have for the team and it’s the best prize at the end of the weekend."
Sebastian Vettel: "I enjoy the mountains very much, they give me a lot of freedom and many possibilities for sports activities. It’s especially great in winter time when I can go skiing. The 'Red Wall' in Austria’s Vorarlberg is awesome. I went there with my family for my first ever skiing trip and just love to come back there. I feel at home and can relax and enjoy!"
Lewis Hamilton: "Brazil is the last race in the calendar each year. It's also the home of my idol Ayrton Senna so coming back here every November is really special and makes me realise how privileged I am and how much I have to be grateful for. This year I stopped off in Rio before going to the track and visited the Christ the Redeemer statue. It's amazing how this statue looks over, and after, the whole city and the view is incredible."
Paul di Resta: "I took this photo during the drivers' parade in Singapore. It's a rare moment before the race when you really get to soak up the atmosphere and feel buzz from the fans. It's one of the best events of the year and this photo helps sum up the spectacular nature and challenge of the track."
Jenson Button: "Thanks for your hard work, guys!"
Mark Webber: "This is a shot I took while cycling in the French Alps during the F1 break."
Martin Brundle: "Kimi's (Raikkonen) front Pirelli after he spun off in Suzuka." The photographs will also be collated in a special edition book, published by Vision Sports Publishing, which will go on sale ahead of the 2014 F1 season.
