It's well known in the F1 paddock that Valtteri Bottas and coffee go together like bread and butter. The Mercedes is seldom pictured out of his car without a cup of hot brew in hand.

Just in case Formula 1 delays its restart indefinitely, the seven-time Grand Prix is contemplating a side hustle as a barista and visited Finland's Kahiwa Coffee Roasters this week to upgrade his espresso-making skills.

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.
