Lets just agree to disagree...
That is probably down to the fact that the numpty behind the lens, taking the shots hand held in the middle of a crowd in the stands, had never photographed a motosport event before. Are you seriously saying that a first timer with a lens weighing 1.5kg would have done better? You might also want to factor in that the shot above was taken at around 600mm equivalent. IOW that 70-200mm zoom wouldn't have got the shot it in any case. I believe a 600mm Nikon cost well over £5,000 the Panasonic and TCON about £400.
