Lewis gets well oiled

You may not know it, but next week is National Oil Check Week and to celebrate this thrilling occasion, Mobil 1 have unveiled a portrait of Lewis Hamilton, painted using the oil from his 2008 British Grand Prix winning McLaren.

In… a totally non-scripted moment, Hamilton said; “I’m very impressed with the oil painting, I’ve always known that the Mobil 1 in my race car is an important component that can give us an edge over our rivals in some circumstances, but I’d never have guessed you could use it to paint with; the oil gives this picture a unique look and feel”.

You get the picture, no pun intended, though in one long sentence, Lewis does manage to prove that oil is really not that interesting.

The painting will have its first public viewing at the Mobil customer event on the eve of the Silverstone race weekend.

Just don’t light a cigarette near it…
