Grosjean on the mend and in the best of hands

When you're on the mend, there's nothing like an in-home nurse to help heal the wounds, especially one as lovely as Marion Grosjean.

Romain's right hand is still recovering from the burns sustained in his Bahrain horror crash, and the former F1 driver required a proper dressing over the Christmas weekend.

Cue Marion who undertook the delicate task with the skill of an expert.

"First dressing change for Marion," Romain wrote on social media.
"I'm not scared, I'm not scared, I'm not scared...🤣🤣🤣
"Ps: all went smoothly, couldn't be in between better hands ❤"

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.
