I thought F1 drivers only drove at high speeds in circles in a counterclockwise motion, but according to these Chris La Brooy digital illustrations, they party harder than people in any other profession. Well, some of them anyways.

Chris La Brooy is a [digital artist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soccerthemed-illustrations) and he's managed to create highly realistic images in this [F1 series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-f1-grid). Look at the driver riding a [Red Bull](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/track-limits-podcast) sponsored Segway device through a porcelain shop smashing all the merchandise. There's also a group of racers riding the head of a metallic dragon. If this is what F1 racers do on their down time, I want to sign up for that job immediately.

**Implications** - With digital technologies enhancing artists' capabilities, graphic designers may now create true-to-life surreal scenarios that are deceptive to the eye. Corporations may employ artists highly skilled in this technology to produce surreal imagery for media campaigns in order to attract consumer attention.
