While most of his colleagues took off to the beach at the start of the summer break, Kevin Magnussen returned to his native Denmark's green pastures for a more romantic layoff from F1.

The 26-year-old Haas driver and Louise Gjorup, who have been together since 2015 and were engaged last year, wed in a private ceremony in Nyborg attended by close friends and relatives.

The Dane will now return to duty at Spa at the end of the month a married man, but that's unlikely to curb his enthusiasm out on the track.

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.
