For Halloween, Hamilton channels his inner disco-self

When it comes to accoutrements and swag, there's evidently not a driver on the grid that has anything for Lewis Hamilton.

But bring on Halloween and the freshly crowned five-time world champion will go the extra mile to celebrate in style.

For the occasion - a party hosted in L.A. hosted by Heidi Klum - Hamilton channeled his inner disco-self, draped in a purple-sequinned shirt, black trousers and platform shoes, and a wig of course.

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.
