A long-term deal of a different kind for the Hulk!

Nico Hulkenberg - F1's super-sub - has just signed up for a long-term deal with long-standing partner and fashion designer Egle Ruskyte.

The happy couple not only tied the knot this week in Monaco, but also their hearts and souls on a picture perfect day for the Aston Martin reserve driver.

Who needs an F1 podium when all you need is love!

We wish a lifetime of happiness to Mr. and Mrs. Hulkenberg.

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.
