Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas look smart and snappy all suited up by luxury fashion house and long-time F1 sponsor Hugo Boss.

The figures are cut about as sharp as the aerodynamics of their winning Mercedes.

While Ham is very much his own man when it comes to fashion and his off-track accoutrements, Bottas confesses that when he's not in his team kit, his wife Emilia is his style advisor.

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.
