All it takes to celebrate today is a bit of Will Power!

One of the best-named drivers in the business celebrates his 37th birthday, but Will Power's qualities go well beyond his patronym.

The Aussie has collected 32 wins since he started his career in Champ Car in 2005, enjoys 50 career IndyCar poles and he clinched the 2014 Verizon IndyCar Series title driving for Penske.

He still needs to put one big notch in his belt however: a win at the Indy 500!

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.
