Only good blood between Vasseur and Binotto

In the past, as team principals of their respective teams, Fred Vasseur and Mattia Binotto have always enjoyed a good relationship and that hasn't changed since the former replaced the latter at the helm of the Scuderia.

Binotto has departed Ferrari, but on Friday the Swiss-Italian was on an administrative visit in Maranello when he encountered his successor and the pair enjoyed an impromptu chat.

After all, Binotto was the man who led the team that designed this year's hopefully winning SF-23.

But also, when Ferrari runs through your veins, it's hard to stay away…

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.
