Company creates $92K Ferrari wall sculpture for car fans
By Dean Murray
A British company has created the ultimate wall-hanging for car fans - a $92K Ferrari.
Crafted as a 75% scale representation of the legendary 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa J, the 3.1m-long piece will be limited to just 19 examples worldwide.
Oxfordshire-based Hedley Studios says each piece is created using traditional hand-forming and polishing techniques, taking over 300 hours of skilled craftsmanship.
Officially recognized by Ferrari, the sculpture features authentic details including the Prancing Horse badge, front and rear light lenses, and bonnet straps.
Ben Hedley, Founder and CEO of Hedley Studios, said: "The Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa is a car steeped in history and magic, and with our stunning wall sculpture, we've aimed to capture the spirit of the original icon's creation.
"The legends of Maranello that masterminded and crafted the 250 Testa Rossa were meticulous and delicate in their technique, and our team of engineers have emulated this focus and dedication in their hours spent crafting our wonderful Testa Rossa J sculpture."

Max Verstappen off the pace with 'undriveable' car in qualifying for Red Bull home race
SPIELBERG, Austria (AP) — Max Verstappen felt his Red Bull car was 'undriveable' as he found himself off the pace at his Formula 1 team's home race. A lack of grip and an unfortunately timed yellow flag both played a role as Verstappen placed seventh in qualifying at the Red Bull Ring, where he's won five times, to further dent his hopes of defending the F1 title. A frustrating day for Verstappen and the wider Red Bull team came amid widespread speculation over his future after Mercedes driver George Russell indicated on Thursday he believed Verstappen was in talks about a move. 'The car is completely undriveable. I have no grip," Verstappen told the team over the radio part way through Saturday qualifying. Things got worse later on as he had to back off his final lap of the session because of a yellow flag. Speaking to British broadcaster Sky Sports after the session, Verstappen indicated he believed his car was 'miles off pole" set by McLaren's Lando Norris, even without the yellow flag. 'Hopefully tomorrow we can at least be competitive with Ferrari or Mercedes," Verstappen said. "I don't know even, because with the balance we had in quali that's for sure not going to look great for tomorrow, but we will analyze everything.' Verstappen's teammate Yuki Tsunoda was even less competitive as he qualified 18th and complained he, too, was lacking grip. Norris said he and McLaren expected Red Bull 'to be quicker here this weekend' after both teams brought upgraded parts to Austria, but said he wouldn't write off Verstappen. Piastri leads Norris by 22 points in the standings with Verstappen third, 21 points further back. 'Max has been our main contender for every race this season," Norris said. "Just because he's had a slightly worse qualifying today, definitely not going to count him out of of the race tomorrow and definitely not going to count him out for the rest of the season.' ___

Former Ferrari F1 Chairman Joins McLaren Group Holdings, Claims 'Heart Will Always Remain Red'
The former Ferrari Chairman Luca di Montezemolo has been added to the McLaren Group Holdings board as a director. This move comes 11 years after di Montezemolo stepped down from the role of Ferrari Chairman, where he helped lead the Italian team's highly successful years with Michael Schumacher. The role is focused on the British auto companies' road cars, and the proud Italian businessman is adamant that he will not find himself working with the F1 team in any meaningful way. Di Montezemolo told the Italian outfit Ansa that his work with McLaren was in Autos and 'not in the racing sector.' "My heart is and will always remain red," di Montezemolo told Ansa. "I have become a member of the board of directors of McLaren Automotive, which produces road cars and does not deal with Formula One." Since leaving Ferrari, the 77-year-old has been took over the Italian airline Alitalia and worked towards a failed attempt to bring the Olympics to Rome in 2024, joining the Italian National Olympic Committee in 2015. The Italian businessman was a guest of McLaren at McLaren Auto's second home track in Bahrain earlier this year. The Bahrain Grand Prix saw a McLaren winner for the first time, with Oscar Piastri taking his second win of the season, moving within three points of his teammate, Lando Norris, for the championship lead. Piastri would take the lead the following Grand Prix and has held it since, with the duo controlling the Drivers Championship and Constructors Championship so far. In McLaren's structure, the two sectors are loosely tied with share ownership between the groups. McLaren Group Holdings owns shares of McLaren Group Limited, which is the majority owner of McLaren Racing Limited, which includes the F1 team.
