Video: Inside the Monaco FIA driver's briefing!

Formula1.com just posted footage of the F1 driver's briefing at Monaco which provides interesting insight into the usually very confidential meeting.

FIA race director Charlie Whiting - the head-master - runs through specific 'need to know' procedures with his pupils, and then queries the drivers about any issues they may be concerned about.

Interestingly, Max Verstappen brings up the problem of the high kerb located on the inside of the Swimming Pool complex, which many drivers criticised and considered a risk.

But Whiting puts the problem to rest by explaining that the kerb is exactly the same as it was a year ago!

The video is another compelling example of how F1 is bringing fans closer to the sport.

Let's hope we get more of these in the future!

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.
