Jerome D'Ambrosio rushes in a new year!

It's happy birthday to former Marussia and Lotus F1 driver Jerome D'Ambrosio who turns 32-years-old today.

The Belgian ran the entire 2011 season with the minnow outfit before enjoying a one-off with Lotus at the Italian GP the following year when he replaced a suspended Romain Grosjean.

A two-time race winner in Formula E with Dragon Racing, Jerome was also the only driver on the electric grid to finish every race in the series' inaugural season.

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.
