Lando Norris

Lando Norris wrapped up a successful weekend in the sandy dunes of Zandvoort with his seventh win of this season in the F3 European championship.

The McLaren junior, who tested for the Woking-based outfit in Hungary recently, won two of the three rounds disputed this weekend at the Dutch venue.

The 17-year-old charger and Carlin driver now leads the series with an 11-point advantage over Prema Powerteam's Maximilian Günther with another nine races to 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.
