Hamilton at Monaco

136



the dissapointment was on his face after the race,only 2nd,he was not allowed to race Alonso for the win.not good for him or the spectators but understandable from Mclaren,still 5 podiums in his 5 first races,joint leader for the championship,things could be worse...

drivers briefing

135


acrylic and pen on paper 9x12" sold


back in 1972 this is how they did the drivers briefing,
on the track,just before take off,for all to see...


i was going to paint the indy winner today but the race was a total wash out,
Franchiti who was in the lead at the right time when the race was stopped,bagged a lucky win.
i can remember when in British F3,he was trashed by Jan Magnussen,
Jan is now pounding anonymously round in sports cars and Dario is famous!

Toby and Moss

it is my oldest boy's birthday,so this is his day!


3 years ago when he was nine,Toby won the annual ,design your own car,at the Goodwood festival of speed,his car was build up during the revival and no other than Stirling Moss drove him round the track in his own car!

Sir Moss was ace,he was not racing that weekend because of an hip operation,but he made an exception for Toby,Stirling had great trouble climbing into the car it was painfull to watch,we all had a lump in our throat but he did it,what a star!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOBY !!!!

The new Peugeot turbo diesel,has started to clean up in the European Le Mans series,
should be a classic Le Mans between them and the Audi's.
Peugeot also won with Loeb, the WRC rally in Argentina.
not bad for a manufacturer already racing and winning nearly a hundred years ago...
