'Le Grand Rendez-vous' in production with Leclerc in Monaco

Charles Leclerc and the production crew led by director Claude Lelouch of 'Le Grand Rendez-vous' were up and running at the crack of dawn on Monte Carlo this morning.

The short film put together by Lelouch is a remake of the famed director's 1976 cult high speed drive through Paris, 'C'était un Rendez-vous'.

The modern version that will premiere next month apparently follows a similar script, with a Ferrari SF90 Stradale driven in anger by Leclerc in the early morning on the Principality's deserted streets.

Prince Albert checked in with the crew as well as Ferrari president John Elkann.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
