'5EB AMF1' - Licensed to win!

For Sebastian Vettel the end of the 2020 season can't come soon enough, not only to put himself out of his misery at Ferrari but also to sample the company car that he'll be using next season.

The future perk is already sitting in Aston Martin's executive car park, waiting for its illustrious driver and licensed with a fresh plate that leaves no doubt about who'll be driving this special AM Vantage.

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.
