Jody Scheckter was the last Ferrari Champion before the drought, ended by Michael Schumacher, of the two decades that followed. Regarded as hugely talented but accident-prone during his early career, Scheckter could also be very quick with a smooth, effortless-looking style that was a joy to watch.
In the midst of the 'Ground Effect' revolution, the Ferrari 312T4 of the 1979 season was not the ideal solution as the Cosworth-engined Lotus, Williams, Brabham and McLaren teams fielded lighter more nimble racing cars. However, the 312T4 was a very reliable car, and Jody Scheckter put together a string of constant finishes, gaining the Championship ahead of his team-mate and great friend Gilles Villeneuve.
The Artist – Simon Read
Born in England, February 1964, into an artistic and supportive family, Simon sold his first painting (a D-Type Jaguar) at the age of fifteen. This was swiftly followed by work for numerous car clubs and racing teams, culminating in artwork commissioned by several Formula One Teams and their sponsors.
Simon has mastered diverse media and developed new techniques with Gouache, Water-Colour, Pencil and Indian Inks. After briefly experimenting with airbrushes, he now paints exclusively with fine sable brushes. In addition to racing cars, aviation, and other technical subjects, there is a love of figure drawing that has lead in a variety of directions, including his trademark portrait and car combinations.
Simon lives and works in Adelaide, South Australia.
About Ferrari Legends
Each 'Ferrari Legend' painting features the driver and the significant car.
Both aspects of the work have been researched over a lifetime of passion for the subject.
All of the men who have driven the scarlet racing cars from Maranello have been part of the mythos of Ferrari. Within this elite group of drivers are some of the truly legendary racers. Ferrari has always attracted a special breed of driver. Not simply in terms of wins, or championships, these drivers demonstrated extraordinary commitment, talent and fearless competitiveness that has endeared them to generations of race fans.
Scuderia Ferrari has the longest and most successful sporting tradition of any organisation. The Ferrari Legends paintings illustrate the legendary drivers alongside their most famous cars. Each portrait is a monochrome illustration, within the montage that depicts the Ferrari shield and car. The lack of strong colour in the faces adds greater depth to the composition, while the cars are rendered sharply and thrust forward.
These elements are set against and blended into a dramatic swirling backdrop of colour.
The Original Paintings
Painted in gouache on hot-press, smooth grain water colour paper, the Ferrari Legends paintings illustrate the legendary drivers alongside their most famous cars.
