Lando Norris lost but loved up in Melbourne

Ahead of next weekend’s Australian GP, Lando Norris got lost in Melbourne’s most iconic cobbled laneways – Hosier Lane – where graffiti appear and disappear overnight.

Sporting his signature bucket hat while keeping a low profile, the McLaren charger chose a mural of giant, fluffy hearts as his preferred backdrop to capture the moment.

Come race day at Albert Park however, it's unlikely that Lando’s rivals will be feeling the love!

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.
