Cheese graters galore at Williams!

Williams pulled out its full spectrum of aero rakes at the reprise of pre-season testing on Wednesday morning in Barcelona.

The spectacular "cheese graters" seen here on Nicholas Latifi's FW43 are sensors that measure the dynamic pressure around a car and help understand the flow structures originating from areas like the front wing.

The subsequent data almost immediately processed by a team's software and allows for relevant changes in wing angle.

Not suitable for Monaco obviously…

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.
