Video: Rosberg captures the action, because he can!

Nico Rosberg posted a short clip on his social media accounts and thanked Liberty Media for the opportunity.

While the content of the snippet isn't much to write home about, it's a great example of getting the fans closer to the action in a convivial way, thanks to F 1's new owners relaxing the rules on filming and media at an F1 venue.

We're sure there will be more of this as other drivers have hailed the chance to share with their social media followers a lot of what goes on at the race track, and in the wings.

It's a huge benefit for the sport and for the fans.

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.
