Latifi confused: Where's the Nutella?

Even during their winter break, F1 drivers allow themselves few dietary transgressions, but the odd 'Nutella and toast' is a nutritional misdemeanor that Nicholas Latifi just can't do without.

Which is why the Williams charger was all the more disappointed when he peered at his lavish floating lunch while on holiday in the Maldives and noticed it was lacking his favourite hazelnut cocoa spread.

Sadly, luxury resorts are no longer what they used to be…

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.
