" Move over Michelangelo, Picasso and Van Gogh, here comes Vettel, Hamilton and Coulthard. Using their racing cars&amp;#039; tires as &amp;quot;brushes&amp;quot; and doing burnouts and spinning doughnuts on huge panels of canvas, Formula 1 World Champions Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton plus retired F1 star David Coulthard have created artworks that are being auctioned off on eBay until April 2, 2012. Proceeds will go to charities chosen by the Race of Champions (ROC) organizers and the drivers themselves. Although each driver initiated the artistic process by, as Vettel said, &amp;quot;scribbling down some lines by doing burnouts and leaving some rubber,&amp;quot; the art panels were subsequently turned into paintings by Brazilian artist Romero Britto who incorporated the tire tracks into a more conventional art work, which was signed by its respective driver.  If you&amp;#039;re looking for a provocative art work to grace the wall of your man cave, auction details can be found here. Hmm, if modern F1 cars generate enough downforce to stick to the ceiling, is the Sistine Chapel in danger? .
