Ferrari Welcomes Back Scuderia Ferrari cover artist, Valerio Befani!

About the “Art of Formula 1” Series

First published in 2017, this series is dedicated to Scuderia Ferrari’s F1 Grand Prix cover art and the artists behind the work. It includes my interpretation of the cover, insights (did you know?) into a nugget of information about the grand prix location, some words from Ferrari (track info. etc.), informational links to artist’s sites, and other Art of Formula 1 series works.

THE ART OF FORMULA 1 | SAKHIR, BAHRAIN | WITH ARTIST, VALERIO BEFANI

2023 Bahrain Grand Prix

Lots of Sparks and fire coming from Charles Leclerc as he blasts out to the front of traffic in the first race of the season. Will we see Leclerc for the win or even a 1, 2 Ferrari podium finish?!

Did You Know?

If Bram Stoker only knew what the British were doing for the win!

So what does Stoker, CARFAX, and Dracula have to do with British racing success?

In his novel ‘Dracula’, Stoker writes that only in his native soil, can a vampire regain his powers and overcome his adversaries. This is why cases of dirt were shipped to ‘Carfax’ Abbey as well as in and around London.

Did you know that many F1 tracks have been paved with crushed rock called greywacke aggregate? This aggregate has been imported from the Bayston Hill Quarry, Shrewsbury, UK. Tracks with these imported materials include Bahrain as well as Yas Marina Circuit. [1] [2] [3]

Could this have played a role in Hamilton’s success over the past years or is this coincidence? You decide.
