Lance Stroll has the heart of a Giant

He may look pretty in pink on Sundays, but off-track Lance Stroll's favourite color is blue, preferably the shade associated with his favourite NFL team, the New York Giants.

The Racing Point driver's outstanding performance in qualifying in Turkey wasn't rewarded on race day, but the Canadian consoled himself earlier this week with a special delivery from 'Big Blue'.

Because Lance has the heart of a Giant!

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.
