It was a banner weekend in Germany for Dany Kvyat which started on Saturday with the birth of his daughter and ended on Sunday with a spot on the podium for the Russian.

After a few days in Monaco to take in the excitement of becoming a father for the very first time and spend time with his better half Kelly Piquet and their newborn daughter, Kvyat arrived at the Hungaroring where Toro Rosso duly celebrated its driver with just the right gift!

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.
