Darren Heath

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Darren Heath, born 1970, is a motorsport photographer specialising in Formula One, and is Principal Photographer for F1 Racing magazine.

By taking a picture inside the cockpit of Mika Häkkinen's retired car - revealing the footwell - and accompanying pictures of McLarens exiting corners with their rear brake discs glowing, he is credited with revealing a secret independent braking system utilizing a second brake pedal in 1997 (which Williams and Jordan would imitate the following season). The sensitive cockpit picture was published exclusively in F1 Racing in that year's November issue.[1]

Heath was also the Chief Photographer of the Autocourse motorsport annual for the 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 editions.[2][3]
