Romain Grosjean earns his 'Cordon Bleu'

40

Just like driving an F1 car on the limit, cooking is an art for Romain Grosjean.

The Frenchman devotes much of his spare time to his passion for the culinary arts which he shares with his wife Marion. The two even produced a book of recipes earlier this year in which they provide insight into some of their favourite dishes and home cooking.

Whether he's flashing his knife skills or deglazing a pan with flambe', the Haas driver makes the most of his time in the kitchen.

May the forks be with you Romain!

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.
