The Showdown – Lewis Hamilton Vs Max Verstappen - 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

This Grand Prix has gone down in history as one of the most watched and controversial races in the history of Formula 1. After a dramatic season of exciting races and on track clashes, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen went head-to-head for the World Championship in the Abu Dhabi finale.

My painting depicts the two arch rivals going over the crest of Turn 3 on the final lap of the crucial Grand Prix. Moments later Verstappen would take the lead going into the Turn 5 hairpin, using the grip of his new red-walled tires.

This piece shows the atmospheric scene under the floodlights, with the distant glow of the W Hotel in the background, framing the two championship rivals.

This was an iconic race in the history of Formula 1 and one which will always be remembered by any fan who tuned in to watch it.
