Michael often said that when he retired he wanted to vanish from the public eye, this is his wife's way of making that dream come true. Just respect their wishes, no one has a right to know.
I'm blown away at the response that "I'm going for 1st!" Is getting! You guys are awesome! To have people like

One of the

RB4 and was used on Day 2 of the Barcelona test... looks like it got a bit toasty!
One thing I've learnt from this year's

Remembering Will Hoy today, an absolute gent and proper stand up character. Sorely missed and never forgotten.
Same goes for Smithy, we miss them both very much.

@BTCC
overtakes ever!... and in these cars, on that corner, cleanly executed, well that's what you call motor racing! Plus there's brief glimps of the fresh faced and future white trousered
@therealdcf1
too!!!!
You can take your EVs and shove them! The sounds coming out of
#LeMans
are where it's at! This is heaven on earth and no soulless EVangelist will convince me otherwise.
Came across this photo of the 1976
#F1
cars awaiting transportation from the UK to America. My only question is, who the hell is in the Lotus 76 that's wrapped in bubble wrap and gaffer tape!? Makes you wonder what other horrors are under the "car covers"
So "I'm going for 1st" is finished! This was the hardest paintings I've ever done, what with a bad reference pic, cars, angle ive never painted before and colurblindness as well as MS its been a tough one, but im thrilled with it!

Reliving more memories, the one that started it all and set me on my path of Motorsport artwork, what I do is purely down to Mike,

Back when car companies knew how to make an advert! The Everything We Do Is Driven By You campaign is still one of the greatest automotive ads ever made!
Here's something I've not seen offered before, a genuine new old Force India rear wing fishplate. It's a beautiful, really tactile and an

car part few will have seen outside of technical drawings, like the one here, done by the oracle of F1
@ScarbsTech
Made this
#F1
keyring recently, its made using a Manor F1 wheel stud and looks rather funky! Reckon its worth making a run of them? I've bags full of these studs and they deserve to be used as something dont you think.
Been stripping a 2018 Renault F1 team exhaust for an art project ill be working on! Woah its a messy job and heavy breathing apparatus is much needed!
@ScarbsTech
this was the 1st one, ill do you some better pics on the second!
Grosjean just had a huge crash! Thankfully he's okay, shaken but okay in the medical car. That was as big an accident as I've seen in the modern era. Huge!!!!

#SebastianVettel
rear wheel that Seb drove in Barcelona on the RB4 and cooked both rear brakes on. Full provenance, an amazingly honest and important piece of

memorabilia and untouched since it left the factory.
What!? No! Cannot believe the news we're waking up to today! Damn man, this is rough. Ken Block changed the game in so many ways and leaves a huge legacy. Wow this is hard to process.
These artiF1ed competition used

Painting update! "I'm going for 1st!" is coming along nicely. The drawing went well, now blocking in the colours before the detail, im still in need of some decent reference pics of

Some say they see a lovely forest trail, others see scenic beauty and hear the breeze rustling through the trees. All I know is that I see mud and stones being thrown up, I hear tyres scrabbing for grip and the theme to Top Gear rally report!
11 years ago TODAY I was diagnosed with
#MultipleSclerosis
and my life changed yes the first few years were the worst ive ever experienced and I lost everything, but I look at myself now and couldnt be prouder that I found a positive outlook and determination to not let it win.
I can finally show you all the very special painting that I've been doing this year. This is part 2 of the Gravett legacy series featuring
@RobbGravett
and
@BradleyGravett
