Hamilton and Roscoe's endless summer

Autumn has taken hold of the upper part of our northern hemisphere, offering its changing colors, crisp temperatures, and shorter days.

But for Lewis Hamilton, out and about this week with his faithful dog Roscoe after his milestone win at the Eifel GP, a warm and glowing sun continues to shine.

With seven wins under his belt in 2020 and a whopping 69-point lead over teammate Valtteri Bottas in the championship, the Mercedes driver is now well on his way to a seventh world title.

More bright and sunny dog days are on their way for Ham and Roscoe.

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.
