Kimi gets a special delivery from Ferrari

It wasn't your typical UPS delivery truck that showed up in front of Kimi Raikkonen's house this week, but a haul originating from the House of Maranello.

As a token of Ferrari's appreciation for his win achieved in the 2018 US Grand Prix, Raikkonen was gifted the victorious Ferrari SF71H.

The race was a milestone event for the 2007 world champion for it marked his first win with the Scuderia during his second career stint with the team and also his final triumph with the Italian outfit.

The glorious former SF71 contender was rolled out of its rig and duly added to Kimi's personal motorsport collection which for now appears to include a vast array of motocross bikes!

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.
