Charles Leclerc will buckle up today for one more short day of work with Ferrari before heading off to a well-deserved holiday.

Ferrari will take advantage on Wednesday of a filming day it is still allowed to undertake, running its SF90 at Monza with the Monegasque for a maximum of 100 kilometers.

The Scuderia 2019 contender will use Pirelli's mandatory "demo" tyres, not the Italian supplier's usual range of compounds.

Unfortunately, fans will hear but not see Leclerc in action as the run will take place behind closed doors at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza.

While running is restricted, with no new parts allowed to be tested on the SF90, Ferrari will no doubt take advantage of the session to collect some additional data that may prove useful when everyone returns to Monza in a month's time for the Italian Grand Prix.

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.
