Formula 1 drivers have showcased their photography skills for the fourth running of the Zoom F1 Charity Auction.
The event will take place on Friday 5th February at London’s Intercontinental Park Lane hotel, raising money for the Great Ormond Street Children's Charity.
As well as the drivers, team principals and F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone have also shared a snapshot of their lives and the signed photos will be auctioned off by Coys during the gala.
It will be followed by an online auction where a selection of other photographs will be put up for sale, which anyone in the world can bid on.
The event will be hosted by Suzi Perry, who presented the BBC's Formula 1 coverage from 2013 to 2015. "I’m thrilled to be involved with the Zoom charity auction event again this year," she said.
"It raises serious money for Great Ormond Street Hospital and is a fantastic opportunity for race fans to buy one off photos signed by their racing heroes."
Last year's Zoom auction raised over £21,000 for the Great Ormond Street Children's Charity and a 124-page book featuring the images and captions was released later in 2015.
Some images from the 2016 auction have been revealed. Lewis Hamilton photographed his bulldog Roscoe sat in front of Rome's Colosseum. Daniel Ricciardo took a selfie while biking through the desert and Jenson Button's was snapped during a mountain bike session in Hepburn Springs. Meanwhile Fernando Alonso and Valtteri Bottas took landscape shots.
Christian Sylt, Zoom co-founder, said: "Once again we would like to thank the teams and drivers, Bernie Ecclestone, the other participants and all our partners for their support.
"We are looking forward to building on the success of the three previous events to raise more money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity through the auction of these unique images."
