Three winners come together for one Triple Crown

The legendary Graham Hill is the only driver to have clinched motorsport's Triple Crown, or the extraordinary feat of winning Le Mans, the Monaco Grand Prix and the Indy 500.

Fernando Alonso has checked off two out of the three great events and still ambitions to win at the Brickyard in the future.

In Hungary, Simon Pagenaud, this year's Indy 500 winner, was a welcomed guest in the F1 paddock, invited by Renault.

The Frenchman came together with 2015 Le Mans winner Nico Hulkenberg and 2018 Monaco Grand Prix winner for a composite 'Triple Crown' picture.

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.
