Pierre Gasly was the recipient of a special gift over the New Year, the AlphaTauri driver collecting a stunning work of art by French painter Rémi Bertoche.

The painting doesn't depict Gasly's milestone win in last year's Italian GP but rather his memorable maiden F1 podium and P2 finish in the 2019 Brazilian GP at Interlagos.

The scene shows Gasly fending off the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton as the pair frantically race each other to the finish line on the final lap of the race.

Rémi Bertoche's work is the perfect memento for Gasly to recall an unforgettable moment in his career.

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.
