Podium number 1 done and dusted for Albon

40

By his own admittance it was "a tough one to achieve" in a crazy race of crashes and red flags, but Alex Albon finally secured his first F1 podium.

Albon's feat was also the historic first for a Thai driver in Formula 1.

And this time, Lewis Hamilton was too far ahead to deprive the 24-year-old of his accomplishment, as was the case in Brazil last year and in Austria at the start of the season.

Time to chill...

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.
