Race and classic pictures

One side for his father, the other for Jules...

We're running two 'Pictures of the Day' for the price of one as both Ferrari drivers are sporting special tribute designs on their lids in Monaco.

It's a big weekend for Charles Leclerc who will get a double dose of emotions in Monte-Carlo where he'll enjoy his home race and his first Grand Prix with Ferrari in the Principality.

The 21-year-old has often spoken of the two most important people in his career: his father Hervé, a former racer in his own right, who sent him on his successful motorsport path and Jules Bianchi, his 'big brother' who mentored him during his early years in the sport.

Leclerc unveiled yesterday a helmet design for Monaco that pays a touching tribute to both men.

No doubt Hervé and Jules, wherever they are, will be looking down on Charles this weekend.

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.
