Painted this while watching the F1 Japan GP. Started it on lap 5 and finished it just moments before the podium. Fun race overall. Nice to see what McLaren can do when they finish a race.

I'm not a race guy, but that feels like a dig at McLaren. and cool painting! Did something inspire this particular one or did you just wing it?

I used a reference if that's what you mean? I'm trying to pick references that are fun and a stretch for me.

As for McLaren it's not a dig at them. Just commentary on the struggles most teams are having with the new regs. This was the first race this year where every team had at least one car finish the race. And the first race where McLaren finished at all, washing out due to technical issues the last two races, among many other teams having issues.
