Barrichello NFS
60 x 60 cm
Acrylic on canvas
The 2010 Hungarian Grand Prix was the twelfth round of the 2010 Formula One season on August 1, 2010.
Red Bull driver Mark Webber claimed his fourth victory of the season, and reclaimed the championship lead after Lewis Hamilton’s retirement from the race.
Rubens Barrichello was 12th in the 12th race of the season, but deserved a painting as he survived a dangerous race incident with his ex-team mate.
At the F1 races and on the television coverage the cars are often lost in the shimmer of the heat that builds up on the tarmac. They seem to appear out of a curtain of colours created by the advertising banners and marshals’ posts.
Looking at the cars head on foreshortens the wonderfully lean and pointed noses of the beautifully designed F1 cars but shows off the struts and the complexity of all the parts that the engineers and mechanics have tweaked to perfection.
i’ve drafted the start of a canvas of the winner of the race:- Mark Webber of Red Bull who had a phenomonal lead of twenty seconds and that should join the gallery as a finished acrylic in the next ten days.

The first in an impressionistic series of pictures capturing this is Rubens Barrichello. Rubinho had his most eventful moment off track in the pit-lane being offered a visit into the pit wall by the seven-times World Champion Michael Schumacher – his former team-mate.

Ah, but was there rlelay any contact or punting off the track? Agreed however, it wasn’t a particularly sporting piece of racecraft and that Herr Schumacher played on the wrong side of the definition of ‘absolute damn right scary’.Was this not a very short snippet of the Gilles Villeneuve v Rene Arnoux 1979 battle at Dijon? Okay, the Villeneuve and Arnoux battle was perhaps/arguably the No.1 F1 battle of all time, but surely that track encounter had all the ingriedients for “blatantly causing an accident, in which his fellow competitor and/or himself could be injured or indeed at worst killed” particularly with the difference in safety standards in the 31years between the two clashes?

The stewards made their decisions on the day. Think you got safety wrong way around – safer now than then.
