Giorgio Piola: The most important F1 drawing in my life

[@Tj930]

He's a great guy, isn't he? How come I didn't know about him decades ago? Thank you, Autosport!

[@xander1052]

an unsung hero of the paddock imo Giorgio is

[@y_fam_goeglyd]

That is a work of art that I'd love to have on my wall! That's not "just" a drawing!

[@StuntpilootStef]

It exists, but you're maybe too late, you could've bought it from his kickstarter campaign. I don't know if you can still buy it.

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

Love these videos with Giorgio they are amazing each time.

[@lanor043]

TheMrFishnDucks uhhhh theres a fly on your pfp

[@curtisboulton5410]

Excellent attention to detail, excellent quality of accuracy. Impressed every time Giorgio draws!

[@MattBakerDrums]

So good that you’re shining a spotlight on Giorgio. Really cool learning about him, his craft and his passion!

Giorgio "Icon" Piola

[@carlfrye1566]

As a drawer of cars from 4th grade to my lifelong poffession as a draftsmen, I love looking at his work. I drew F1 cars in the evenings on my drawing board after an 8 hour day drawing at work, so I can fully understand the passion in his work. From everything I know about drawing that view of the car it is developed from projecting lines of a side view and top view to an intersection point on the view being drawn, which means he produced scale side and top views of all of the parts - that's the way I learned to draw them........an enormous amount of work.

[@tizianopegoraro3596]

Miss this guy and the rest of the 'Rai' (Italian TV Channel that used to broadcast all f1 races) crew on television...now sky does everthing...really sad...

[@DaToRepz]

One of my favourite videos on youtube. Thank you.

[@rgarlinyc]

Beautiful car indeed, and spectacular drawing Maestro Piola!👏

[@maltesefalcongp]

Loving these videos, Giorgio is a legend!

[@teflonpete]

There few people that I can listen on and on and on for hours. Giorgio talking about f1 cars and racing is one of them.

[@deeacosta2734]

Giorgio is incredible. The greatest artistic engineer ever? A true OG. So glad Autosport features him so routinely.

[@laos85]

As an artist myself. Seeing this truely awesome, genious, and talented person really makes me felt prude of my career.

[@benzflynn]

Technical illustration just one of many professions totally transformed by the software revolution.

[@oxcart4172]

Sometimes the word 'awesome' just doesn't cut it!

[@cmartin_ok]

I still have my Tamiya 1:12 scale model of the 72 that I made about 40 years ago.....

[@jakubjodlowski6453]

Great stuff. I wish these snapshot stories would be aired by Sky during the race weekend. Definitely not enough of these cool stories

[@lipcovitch1]

As a Brazilian motorsports fan, I do remember the great Emerson Fittipaldi driving the fantastic JPS Lotus 72D. Good memories.

[@jacksonbermingham2168]

id have a copy of that on my wall if i could full size such a great car and i love that kind of techincal hand draw picks.. pitty the cars dont look that good anymore

[@OriginalApexTwin]

Man I want that drawing...even if it’s not finished!

[@andreacester9401]

Grande Giorgio, il migliore!

[@shingnosis]

My favorite F1 car ever.

[@QashmalUtomo]

The Lotus 72! Oh, I love that car XD

[@dirkfulks]

Saw him at Cota this year, should’ve asked for a photo. I was too nervous lol

[@ourafilmes]

MAKE IT A POSTER FOR US!!!!

[@theindubitable]

Pure art

[@mirrorblue100]

His books are also outstanding - explain the F1 designs.

F1's da Vinci

[@eddieconroy212]

Genius!

[@christophercooper5958]

is giorgio really done putting out his f1 tech books?

[@rumplespliffskin]

Wow. The brakes are on the inner end on the shafts.

[@luisgimenez8660]

That's for better handling as a result of reduced mass at the wheels.

[@rumplespliffskin]

@@luisgimenez8660 thanks man. I was wondering why.

[@alexandros-charischari6113]

When f1 was simple and beautiful

[@paolovalzelli]

I think you should watch again this video

[@ruairilane3562]

When f1 had 4 finishers a race

[@alexandros-charischari6113]

@@ruairilane3562 indeed

[@ruairilane3562]

jonny j even focusing on efficiency the cars since 2017 are the fastest yet but I’d hope the engine modes are banned so the drivers have to push

[@randomcamerajunk6977]

Where would you even begin on a drawing like that....?....

[@fablewalls]

Yeah it may be easier done in Photoshop but who seriously would prefer a Photoshop / illustrator version of this to a hand drawn version - even with mistakes - on their wall? (By the way - just try drawing those beautiful shading lines in Photoshop - even with a Wacom Cintiq.....)

Giorgio has only missed five Formula 1 races and has bedded 1000 women.
