Alboreto Ferrari Montreal 1984

with thanks to Robert Murphy :) who made this painting very easy

Michele Alboreto was the first F1 driver i met

he was chatting with Leo Mehl (Good Year) in the Monaco paddock 

and i showed him my little model cars....

he was so nice,

we chatted about tyres (what the hell did i know!) 

and that was the beginning of my career
