Pat Behar, former photographer and FIA delegate: "It was a real nightmare, but it was damn good!"

A freelance photographer from 1977 to 1993, then a photographers' delegate for the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) until the 2017 Australian Grand Prix, our driver has lived two lives but had only one passion. A Parisian tour with the inimitable "Pat," a beloved figure in the Formula 1 paddocks.
