Many believe - including himself - that Lewis Hamilton is F1's annointed one, but this indiscreet shot of Daniel Ricciardo walking on water offers clear evidence that it is the Aussie who is the Messiah.

The story behind the pic? The Aussie and his team mate Max Verstappen hooked up this week with the crews of the Red Bull Extreme Sailing Team to try their hand at Catamaran racing on Hungary's beautiful lake Balaton.

The pair were showed the ropes of competitive sailing, and were quite impressed with both the boats and the skills of their Olympic sailing gold medalist coaches, Hans-Peter Steinacher and Roman Hagara.

At the end of the day however, Ricciardo needed no sails to head back to terra firma, disembarking and confidently walking across the moor as onlookers watched in bewilderment!

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.
