Want a chance to win Nico Rosberg's signed Silverstone pass?

A reigning F1 World Champion needs a pass to enter Grand Prix racing's paddock sanctuary, and Nico Rosberg is no exception.

Actually, world champs are awarded an 'all areas' permanent pass by Formula 1 but Rosberg had simply forgotten his when he showed up at Silverstone two weeks ago!

The German posted the signed give-away on Twitter, telling fans to head over to Instagram for a chance to win the precious piece of memorabilia. But there's a catch...

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.
