Rosberg reported to Wimbledon stewards for sinful dress code mishap

40

Nico Rosberg paid a visit to his good friend Roger Federer at Wimbledon where the Swiss will be gunning for his eighth title this aftrenoon.

Formula 1's reigning world champion was all suited up and looking smart as he entered the tennis sanctuary but forgot one small accoutrement detail: you need to wear socks at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club!

That's right, Wimbledon has its rules, as Lewis Hamilton painfully found out two years ago when he was barred from the Royal Box for not wearing a suit and tie.

Rosberg was fortunately alerted to the dress code mishap early on and quickly corrected the style faux-pas.

Retired rivers just let themselves go...

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.
