I love patterns and always had an eye for them.
Last year's 24 hours of Le Mans was to me extremely exiting, because I was sitting on the edge of my seat, hoping for Ferrari to complete one of the most amazing patterns in history, because had the #51 car won we would have this:
Year: Number
1963: 21
1964: 20
1965: 21
exactly 60 years for pattern pitch
2023: 51
2024: 50
2025: 83 .....51 third
Sadly they had the wrong car win...

#12 William “W.” Williams • Bugatti Type 35B**

This piece captures W. Williams at the wheel of the iconic Bugatti Type 35B during the 1929 Monaco Grand Prix — only the second running of the race, when the narrow streets of Monte Carlo were still new territory for Grand Prix machinery.

**MAA25008 — 2012 Monaco Grand Prix #2
Mark Webber · Red Bull‑Renault**

Some races are won with raw speed.
Monaco 2012 was won with discipline.

Mark Webber held the entire field behind him for lap after lap, never giving an inch, never offering a single mistake to chase. The RB8 wasn’t the dominant car that year, but around the principality it carried that unmistakable Red Bull sharpness — precise, composed, and perfectly matched to Webber’s calm aggression.

This piece captures that feeling: the geometry tight, the stance controlled, the sense of a driver balancing pressure with absolute clarity. Monaco rewards patience and precision, and in 2012 Webber delivered both.
