If the background is a crowd, it will look nicer. But it's not, so the background is a bit distracting (A panning shot however will survive since it will blur the background). Somemore shooting a bit to the top would render the subject smaller. Hence will fail to highlight the main story. Which is more important than even a nice background. Remember this is motorsport, no such thing as waiting for the blue sky and perfect exposure. It's all about timing and accuracy.

It was very harsh midday, either you get underexposed bike or overexposed background. But anyway it doesnt matter. Actually dodge and burn techniques can be apply here but it will not represent the exact condition of the grand prix.

This pic below is late in the afternoon

In my experience, the threshold of shakiness I would handsomely put at 1/200. It's a safe bet that all objects besides a fast moving cars or motorbikes will appear sharp.

Added on October 29, 2008, 7:22 pm1st is the ISO1600 - It's because of this that your image is really really soft.

If you ask me 200mm is not enough for birds. The ideal would be 600mm f4, if no budget the push pull 100-400 f4.5-5.6L is good already. At least you have the versatility. Furthermore most of the bird shooting is outdoor where light condition is normally good if not best.

Yes it will affect the picture quality. 200 x 2 is 400mm and 2.8 x 2 = 5.6. 100-400 is 5.6 at its furthest. Obviously the 400mm without the extender is sharper. Summore on a crop body where the lenses will not be fully utilize when using extender.
