Sometimes we forget how difficult it is to be a cameraman. You have to focus on what you are supposed to shoot and block out all other distractions.
Of course, sometimes a little eye-catching object comes along that the bouncer misses, and that’s what happened to a cameraman, and you’ll see in a second why I’m pretty sure it was a camera.man – working in the paddock of the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix.
Hey, he’s just a human being.

Following Friday’s Sprint qualifying session, British broadcaster Sky Sports was doing analysis with 2009 world champion Jenson Button, former driver Naomi Schiff and presenter Simon Lazenby.
However, their coverage was somewhat interrupted when the cameraman became a little distracted by a certain paddock guest.
I bet a couple of husbands got dirty looks from their wives when they yelled, “Hey, that’s Ivana Knoll!”

That’s right, internet sleuths quickly identified the “sexiest fan” of the 2018 World Cup.
Which is a great title. Do you realize how many people were in that?
The cameraman managed to get back on track, although it was probably a good thing a McLaren mechanic wasn’t wielding any power tools when Knoll passed by.
That could have been disastrous.

I think Knoll knew what he was doing. You don’t come across the title of “sexiest fan.”

That’s not the kind of outfit you normally see in a busy paddock, with tools, car parts and large piles of tires everywhere. But Knoll knew there would be cameras, and damn, where there are sports and cameras, there is Ivana Knoll, the “sexiest World Cup fan.”
Maybe he’ll get a little more face time in Sunday’s Grand Prix. On Saturday night it was announced that the race start time was moved up three hours to 1 pm ET, in an attempt to prevent the weather from improving later in the day.
