From the design floor to victory lane, the magic happens together

Days after Lando Norris' milestone F1 win in Miami, a jubilant and special moment at Woking offered a glimpse into the heart of McLaren Racing.

Amidst the grandeur of victory, hundreds of employees stood united as the formidable force behind team and driver’s success.

The collective celebration unfurled not only for a victory but for the relentless spirit and unwavering commitment of each individual who contributes their talent to McLaren's endeavors.

Together, they embody excellence—the people who make the impossible, possible.

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.
