Daniel Ricciardo gets down at Coachella

After scoring his first points of the season In China and before he rejoins the grind in Azerbaijan, Daniel Ricciardo made a pit stop at the Coachella music festival.

As the Renault driver joined in on the fun at the famous annual music extravaganza in California, he checked in on fellow Aussie pro-surfer-turned-musician DJ Fisher before the latter's Saturday night set.

"Happy Easter from two Aussies and a Ferris wheel," Ricciardo posted on Instagram.

Baku now beckons for Danny Ric, where the 29-year-old will be hoping for more than a high-profile crash with his team mate like the incident that marred his last trip to Azerbaijan.

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.
