Twenty-five year old Antonio Felix da Costa left the teenagers in the dust in Macau this weekend, to claim his second victory in the prestigious F3 event.

The Portuguese driver returned to F3 for a one-off, having already won the race back in 2012, when he was an up-and-coming hopeful and member of the Red Bull Junior Team.

Félix da Costa's career took a hit when he was dropped by the energy drinks company, the driver diverting since his path towards the German DTM series as well as Formula E.

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.
