F1 News, Reports and Race Results

Pump up the volume - today's cars with yesterday's sounds!

We're not sure what struck us more when we watched this for the first time: the video itself or the incredibly clever editing and mixing that went in to making it.

Someone went through the trouble of overdubbing footage from last week's pre-season test with the piercing sound of pre-turbo F1 cars.

The result is nothing short of incredible, but just makes us long for a return of some proper screaming racket !

Until then, pump up the volume and enjoy!

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.
