An emotional Fittipaldi-Peterson reunion

40

Emerson Fittipaldi joined the beautiful Nina Peterson in Stockholm earlier this week for the premiere of the documentary 'Superswede'.

Directed by Henrik Jansson-Schweizer, the film is a tribute to the life and career of Nina's famous father, F1 great Ronnie Peterson, who raced alongside Fittipaldi at Lotus in 1973.

"It’s also an amazing love story between Ronnie and his wife Barbro," said Jansson-Schweizer.

"They both tried to fit in, in a strange world of money and glory. They were unseparable through the hard times resulting from Ronnie’s way of challenging the unwritten rules of the racing world."

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.
