Practicing social distancing, in the style of JYS

Sir Jackie Stewart doesn't frequently update his Instagram account, but when he does, the F1 legend likes to make a point.

To illustrate the current and very indispensable prescription that urges us to keep our distance with others during these troubled times, Sir Jackie posted a picture of himself running well ahead of teammate François Cevert at Monza in 1973, and the following words of wisdom:

"I've been practicing my social distancing for quite some time (as you can see from the picture)! I hope that everyone is taking the necessary precautions to ensure that we overcome these challenging times. Stay safe"

Enough said…

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.
