Rubens Barrichello waving to crowd

 * Reason:Rubens waving to the crowd after finishing sixth at the 2008 Australian Grand Prix - a race in which only 7 of the 22 cars finished the race. Rubens would subsequently be disqualified and reduce the number of finishers to 6. Good technicals (particularly given that I'm shooting through a fence).

 * Comment: An EV issue could be that nothing places this at the event of its sole article. Is there is reason it's not being used at Rubinho's article say (other than there already being copious images of him in the car)? --jjron (talk) 07:48, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah I decided not to add to the RB article because of there already being an image of him in the "Earth Car". I think the EV in the GP article is quite good because as I mentioned already the race was marked by the number of retirements. This shot is quite interesting in that context because it shows Rubens waving after surviving the race when ironically he would join the ranks of the non finishers because of a disqualification. I've now also added the shot to Honda Racing - replacing a poorer quality shot of Jensen. We'll see if it sticks --Fir0002 09:53, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Excellent detail of the car. - ☩  Damërung   ☩   .  -- 09:58, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose Definitely a quality shot, but it just doesn't have much EV in that article. Makeemlighter (talk) 03:53, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * It has enough EV in my opinion. - ☩  Damërung   ☩   .  -- 14:54, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Better EV now that it's in Honda Racing F1, but I still think it comes up short. Makeemlighter (talk) 15:17, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
