Gene Haas' team gets it done at Daytona!

40

A day before the Haas F1 Team begins pre-season testing in Barcelona, it's sister outfit Stewart-Haas Racing had an epic Sunday with Kurt Busch winning the Daytona 500! It was a crash-filled event but Busch kept his Stewart-Haas Ford out of trouble and pointing in the right direction to collect his first win in the Great American Race. A great start of the year for Gene Haas!

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.
