Wheel. Nut.

40

The boys at Red Bull Racing hold the record for the fastest ever pitstop in Formula 1, but yesterday's timed wheel change attempted by Britain Prime Minister Boris Johnson was as slow as Brexit.

The PM stopped by Milton Keynes while on the campaign trail to explain that Britain was "stuck in the pits" and pledged to get it back on track.

Stating that the wheels are falling off would have perhaps been a better metaphor.

Regardless, Johnson's laborious Red Bull wheel change resulted in an unsafe release, which is what you get when you confuse one nut with the other.

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.
