It's just a short video, but it's the first showing new recruit Nico Hulkenberg draped in his new Renault colors.

The message was delivered via Renault Sport F1's Twitter account and the German actually looks good in the canary-yellow team wear.

Hulkenberg will be teaming up with Jolyon Palmer this season, and while the former has expressed caution over Renault's performance this year, labeling the outfit as still a work in progress, Palmer on the hand is hopeful of achieving points and even a podium. No lack of confidence from our Jo!

Here he is! For the first time with @RenaultSportF1, we give you, The Hulk!
(Thank you for filming this nice NY message @HulkHulkenberg

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.
