Team Ginger Spice goes to Wembley!

40

A top-ranked Grand Prix driver has access to perks that most of us can only dream of.

But the job of team principal of a successful F1 team also provides its fair share of benefits, especially if one happen to be married to a Spice Girl.

Just as Christian Horner treats his better half to a front row seat on race day, Geri Halliwell - aka Ginger Spice - returned the favour at Wembley on Friday, inviting her husband and his famous Red Bull entourage to a VIP suite to witness the final concert of the Spice Girl's UK reunion tour.

This might actually be the happiest we've ever seen Helmut…

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.
