2008 FIA Formula One World Drivers Champion Lewis Hamilton recently received a portrait made in Mobil 1 engine oil. The twist is the oil used was taken from Hamilton’s Vodafone McLaren Mercedes car in which he won the British Grand Prix at Silverstone last year. The Lewis Hamilton Mobil 1 oil portrait has been commissioned to kick off National Oil Check Week in the UK.
Mobil a sponsor of Hamilton’s McLaren Mercedes racing team, charged US artist David Macaluso with the creation of the picture of Lewis in typically triumphant pose to celebrate his title success and highlight Mobil’s role in the UK-wide car maintenance initiative, which kicks off next Monday, June 15.
The painting will be displayed for the first time at a VIP customer event, on the eve of Hamilton’s home Grand Prix at Silverstone. Fifty prints of Hamilton’s Mobil 1 oil portrait have been made.
