Max lets the funny man do the driving

Fresh from his Mexican GP win, Max Verstappen headed to Las Vegas earlier this week for a Red Bull demo run at SEMA, the world's biggest specialist equipment exhibition.

After unleashing the power of his RB7 with some spectacular donuts produced around the city's Convention Center, Max hitched a ride with legendary talk show host Jay Leno in an Aston Martin DB11.

In addition to his talents as a comedian and TV host, Jay Leno is one of America's greatest classic car connoisseurs, and the proud owner of an extraordinary collection of over 280 cars and motorcycles.

After Leno's 20-year run as host of the "Tonight Show" came to an end, the comedy legend turned his attention to his NBC-produced series called "Jay Leno's Garage" , now in its third successful season.

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.
