...some engineering advances have muddied the process. Part of all cars' armory from 2002-'07 was traction control, an electronic aid that kicks in when the rear wheels begin to spin or slide. Say you're driving through a tight corner in the rain. At the midway point you floor the accelerator. Because an F1 car is both ultra-light and ultra-powerful, your action would surely cause the rear wheels to spin and the car to slide out of control. But not with the magic of traction control, which overrides your foot and cuts power. You could hear this...

It smelled like a seaside town. The floor is made of loose rock salt from the Dead Sea and is warmed to enhance the scent and coziness.

And now these drawings are going to be on exhibition here. It's very moving for me. These drawings were done here with so many hopes...
...saved for about two years. We just lived on bread and a little cheese, but it was so romantic. I imagined someday having a gallery and an atelier, and here I am. My atelier is a little hotel that overlooks Montparnasse graveyard, and my gallery is a whole floor of the Fondation Cartier. It's my world right now, the same world that was mine when...
