1986 Williams FW11 Artwork
Artist Chris Phillips looks at Nelson Piquet and his 1986 Williams FW11 from a unique perspective.
Brazilian Nelson Soutomaior, perhaps fortunately for race commentators, adopted his mother’s maiden name of Piquet when he arrived in Europe in 1977. Within a decade the fun-loving driver had won no less than three World Championships (1981, 1983 and 1987) with three different engine manufacturers (Ford, BMW and Honda). Unfortunately, a bad practice crash at Indianapolis in 1992 virtually ended his competitive driving career.
