Ain't no mountain high enough for Hamilton

After the first three races of the 2020 season, Lewis Hamilton already has a grip on the championship and on a potential seventh title.

At the peak of his game and armed with a redoubtable Mercedes Black Arrow, Hamilton is still ascending and on a path to a new summit.

In the words of the legendary Marvin Gaye, there just 'ain't no mountain high enough' for Grand Prix racing's mega star.

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.
