A family tribute to Michael Schumacher at Goodwood

40

In the year of the 25th anniversary of his first world title, Michael Schumacher's record-breaking career was celebrated at Goodwood this weekend at the venue's annual Festival of Speed.

As vast array of cars - from Jordan, Benetton, Ferrari and Mercedes - were driven up Goodwood's hill, but it was naturally the machines from the House of Maranello that were at the forefront of the colorful homage.

However, family and friends also came together to pay a heartfelt tribute to the seven-time world champion.

On Sunday, Corrina Schumacher was joined by former Scuderia boss Jean Todt and Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo for a moment of reminiscing and commemoration.

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.
