Electric blue lights up Renault e.dams

Renault e.dams unveiled its elegant-looking Formula E charger yesterday in Paris, which the French team will run in season 4 of the all-electric series.

Formula E 2015-16 champion Sebastien Buemi and Nicolas Prost will once again produce the sparks for Renault e.dams which clinched its third consecutive title as a team this year.

"I am delighted to finally lift the veil on the colours we will use to defend our title in this new season," said team co-owner Alain Prost.

"Our goal remains the same as it has been for the past three years: win the Team’s and Driver’s championships."

"We have seen that the competition will be tougher with some major car manufactures joining us in the championship but we have a very good team and a very solid technical partner with Renault.

"We also have two excellent drivers, who have worked very well together since the beginning of our adventure, they are very complementary.

"We have a genuine cohesion at all levels, which is our strength. This year, our motivation is stronger even though we know that the challenge will be harder to meet."

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.
