F1i will be in the thick of the action this week with 'Live' timing and commentary directly from the Circuit de Catalunya.

Just follow this 'LIVE' link here.

As the 2017 cars are driven in anger for the very first time this year, it will be interesting to see if the greatest looking cars will also be the fastest ones out on the race track.

We'll have a summary at the end of the day, but in the interim check out the driver line-up schedule to follow 'who drives when'.

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.
