Another Schumacher is on his way!

40

The Schumacher family legacy lives on, with 16-year-old David Schumacher following in the footsteps of his uncle Michael and his father Ralf, not to mention cousin Mick.

David kicks off his professional motorsport career in Abu Dhabi this weekend where he'll be racing in the F4 UAE Championship.

"This weekend is all about trying new things for me." said David who finished runner-up last year in the German Karting Championship.

"While it would be great to win races it’s also important to learn as much as I can about the handling of these cars, get used to the grip levels, practice my starts and just make sure I’m refining my driving as much as I can."

A typical 'Schumacher' sensible approach to business...

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.
