Showing some winning Leclerc brotherly love

Charles Leclerc took advantage of a rare free weekend to visit brother Arthur at Paul Ricard on Sunday where the latter was competing in the FIA Formula Regional series.

The Prema Powerteam charger and Ferrari Academy member was spurred on by his brother's support, prevailing in two races and finishing P2 in a third.

After six rounds, Leclerc sits second in the Formula Regional drivers' standings, just four points behind championship leader and Prema teammate Gianluca Petecof.

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.
