A pitstop on Ocean Drive for Max Verstappen

Over the summer, the Red Bull Racing team embarked on an epic coast-to-coast trip in the US, taking its championship winning RB7 from San Francisco to Miami.

Daniel Ricciardo completed the first installment of the 5,000 km journey before Max Verstappen took over to cover the second leg of the amazing road-trip.

From the Colorado Rockies to Florida's eastern shores, Max and the Red Bull crew put in the miles, eventually making their way to sunny Miami, where a bit of thundering entertainment awaited the locals.

Check out the video of Max Verstappen ripping through the Rocky Mountains and across the sand in Miami Beach.

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.
