Antonio Giovinazzi embraces the 10-Year Challenge!

40

If you use social media, you've noticed a new viral trend exploding on Twitter and Instagram under the #10YearChallenge hashtag.

The concept? People comparing pictures of themselves in 2009 to ones taken ten years later.

It's unclear who started the craze or for what purpose, but as it's taken social media by storm, the memes have naturally spilled over to F1.

Sauber's Antonio Giovinazzi has done his part, posting a side-by-side compare of himself.

The young karter with a dream has morphed into a bone fide Grand Prix driver. But he's kept the same hairstyle!

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.
