We're always suckers for a boost of good old fashioned Formula 1. And boost is what it was all about back in the mighty years of the turbo-powered cars.

This is Satoru Nakajima in his Lotus 99T flying around the old Österreichring, complete with Bosch curb et al in 1987.

No KERS, ERS or muffled sound to contend with here. Just the brute force of the Lotus' Honda engine!

So, to end your Sunday just sit back, watch and pump up the volume!

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.
