The pinnacle of idiotic behaviour belongs to motorists who realise they need to hastily come off a motorway junction, so swerve across, endangering their lives and everyone around them, rather than simply drive to the next junction and turn around.

Be proud of yourself for every step you’ve taken.
Not just the big wins, but the quiet choices no one sees.
You’ve grown, you’ve kept going, and you’re stronger than you realise

Whenever I observe a minutes silence in a relatively public place, there's always some unfortunate soul who comes crashing in, presumable unaware of said silence being observed.
It can surely be only a matter of time until that person is me.

These A5 sized pieces are from my “Impressions” series of pencil drawings and the subjects are pretty iconic!
Treat yourself or consider a gift for a loved one..?

If you spin off where there are yellow flags and a car already in the barrier you deserve a penalty that affects your next race

WHAT a corner Eau Rouge used to be! 😍😍
Remembering Louis Rosier, born #OnThisDay in 1905. Pic: ready for the off, Spa, ’55, in his own Écurie Rosier Maserati 250F; he’d finish 9th. He never won an #F1 GP - he was 3rd twice in ’50 - & he died in ’56 of injuries sustained in a shunt at the Montlhéry circuit near Paris.

So Max collides with Hamilton, then goes off track to gain the place, then forces Russell off the track, but according to the stewards he's done nothing wrong?! Mental stuff, but not surprising!

Nothing say "I am a complete wanker" as effectively as taking a call on speaker phone, in a public place, within earshot of others.

World mental health day, if nothing else it’s a reminder to stop and check in with yourself and those close to you.
Life can be pretty busy, we can miss the signs, if you don’t chose when to take a break, the choice gets made for you and it’ll never be at the right time.

Jason Plato speaking out about mental health is so important. Never would suspect someone with his outward confidence would be afflicted by this terrible thing, I'm so glad he's doing well.

Hello!
Something a little more “arty” from me today - a very stylised pencil drawing of the #77 AO Racing Porsche 911. It can be Roxy or Rexy, that’s up to you the viewer. I hope you like it!
It’s A3 sized and can be yours for £150+p&p.
