Hamilton and Ocon: absolute finishers!

Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton and Force India's Esteban Ocon are the only two drivers to have finished every single race this season.

Actually, the 21-year-old French driver has seen the checkered flag in each and every race he has taken part in since he graduated to F1 last year with Manor Racing at Spa!

Hamilton has scored points in every 2017 Grand Prix so far, while Ocon missed out on a top-ten finish just once this season, in Monaco.

Can both sustain their run until the end of the season? Check back in a couple of months...

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.
