Taking photos of F1

[Jeff Wong]

Hi! What would be an appropriate lens to use for taking photos at the coming F1 race? The lighting should be quite bright I presume. Is the 70-200 long enough (on a cropped frame)? Or I need a longer lens? Anyone interested to go for Sat's race, can PM me.

You could also refer to the many previous "what lens for F1" threads, as this question gets asked about 50 times every year before F1...
