wonderfully confident look for our new car which really captures the
effort the whole team has put into developing the F111. The car design
and the graphic design perfectly complement one another and mark the
real beginnings of our ambitions.”
Daniel is today one of the
most imaginative and adventurous designers in both Hollywood and the
motor industry. Although he and his label Cosmic Motor live mostly in

liveries from the past, and he has drawn inspiration of them in creating
Hispania Racing´s new livery. “I miss fearless visual statements and
large beautiful numbers on today´s racing cars.”

blending the dual requirements in a seamless, but attractive manner,
which reflects the motivated vibe of the Hispania Racing team as it
enters its second Formula 1 season.
Working within the defined
Hispania Racing shape was enjoyable for Daniel, “Playing with the
restrictions of what you can do to a complex F1 body is fun. There are
many don´ts, but I found a way to lay courageous racing essence on the
car.”
