Sculpture in F1 Exhibition

British Artist working with F1 Exhibition

Suffolk  Artist creates unique works for F1 The Exhibition

Mike  O'Connor is an artist working exclusively with historically significant parts from Formula Ones rich history, creating one-off  pieces that each have genuine F1 provenance. 


A  chance to own Michaels Schumacher’s Benetton B191. From his rural Foundry, without the use of CAD or automation of any kind, Mike has created a limited run of four pieces, each entirely made of metal sourced from race used parts of the famous drivers actual  Benetton B191 (Chassis 6). 

The  very car in which Schumacher would go on to score his first points with in F1. 

The  first of these pieces is to be auctioned with all proceeds going to “Keep  Fighting” The Michael Schumacher Foundation. 


These  unique pieces are available to view at The  F1 Exhibition in Madrid until June of this year. 

Mike  was also asked to create a stunning central large sculpture for the reception area of the F1 Exhibition. The finished piece entitled “Cutting Edge” draws  inspiration from the evolution of technology within F1 over the last 70 years. Gently referencing the shape of the current cars, the piece is in-fact entirely made from sheet aluminum using traditional metal working skills in the exactly the same manner as  the original 1950’s Formula One race cars were constructed.  


Passionate  about the V10 and V8 era of F1 Mikes initial exhibition at Dadiani Fine of Cork Street, Mayfair, featured works made entirely from race used F1 exhausts. It was extended for an unprecedented seven weeks and sold out in the Summer of 2017. Two of these original  pieces are understood to be the first significant value pieces of art to be sold in Bit Coin in the UK. 


Mike  studied Fine Art at Southampton University, went on to have a successful career in engineering and called upon his passion as an F1 Demonstration Driver to become Co-Founder of Vintage  Formula Ltd.
