Hamilton cheers Broncos, team roars back!

Last Sunday, Lewis Hamilton was spotted in the stands at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, where the Denver Broncos defeated the LA Chargers in a matchup of the NFL’s Western conference.

The seven-time F1 World Champion is a recent addition to the Broncos’ ownership group, the Briton joining a syndicate of investors that acquitted the team from the estate of the late Pat Bowen for a record $4.65 billion, the highest transaction ever recorded for a sports franchise.

Sporting a vintage Broncos jacket, Hamilton indulged in the electrifying atmosphere of the NFL game while showcasing his unwavering support for his new team.

Hamilton's presence at the game seemingly served as a good luck charm for the Broncos, as they emerged victorious with a convincing 24-7 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, boosting their playoff aspirations.

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.
