Ayrton Senna da Silva 1960-1994 He had awesome authority and near mystical stature allied to almost super-human speed and skill on the track.

Novolari portrait
Watercolour and Acrylic on 300 gsm acid & chlorine free cotton Grana Fina paper. 12 x 16 inches approx. Unframed. All frames for illustration only. Signed by the artist. Artists collection. Tazio Novolari 1892-1953 It is said he was Enzio Ferrari's favourite driver and he spent the rest of his life looking for someone as good. Tazio Nuvolari, who before the second world war had trounced the factory teams of both mercedes-benz and auto union, aboard an ageing (and appararently uncompetive) Scuderia Ferrari Alfa Romero. At the German Grand Prix at the nurburgring so confident were the german organisers of that race of a german victory that they had neglected to equip themselves with a recording of the italian national anthem!

Fangio portrait
Watercolour on 300 gsm acid & chlorine free cotton Grana Fina paper. 12 x 16 inches approx. Unframed. All frames for illustration only. Signed by the artist. Artists collection. Juan Manual Fangio 1911-1995 In seven full seasons in Formula One , Fangio was World Champion five times, and runner-up twice. No one, before or since, has demonstrated that kind of superiority over that length of time in Formula One. That he raced a Alfa Romero in the worlds first Formula One Race at Silverstone, England at the tender age of 39 years old speaks volumes. He retired in 1957 aged 46. |
Jim Clark
Acrylic on 300 gsm acid & chlorine free cotton Grana Fina paper. 12 x 16 inches approx. Unframed. All frames for illustration only Signed by the artist. Artists collection. Jim Clark 1936-1968 F1 World Champion 1963 and 1965. Flew the pond to come second in the 1963 Indianapolis 500 eventually winning in 1967 When you talk of Jim Clark, you talk of natural ability. This man was a shy Scottish sheep farmer who had no ambition at all to be in the limelight, or to be rich and famous. He just enjoyed driving cars as fast as they could be made to go, and almost without effort he found he was better at it than anyone else. 'Clark never seemed to work on his technique, or analyse what he was doing: he was just devastatingly fast, everywhere.'
