Race and classic pictures

Still a mythical couple after all these years

It's not a 'Look Back' picture from yesteryear but a shot from yesterday, at Goodwood where the always smiling Emerson Fittipaldi was reunited with his other better half, the legendary JPS Lotus 72.

And Emmo's current better half - his lovely wife Rossana - looks just as happy as the two-time world champion to see her husband bond with his former F1 mistress.

Eternal love at its best...

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.
