The 'Keep Fighting' charity initiative, one year on...

A year ago, Michael Scumacher's family launched its non-profit initiative called "Keep Fighting", inspired by the seven-time Formula 1 world champion.

It was small steps at first but since then, the foundation has globally promoted road safety awareness and action, and strived on the Schumacher's family belief of "never giving up".

Needless to, Mick Schumacher, the 18-year-old son of the F1 great, will continue to carry the Foundation's message as he pursues his racing ambitions in 2018.

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.
