'Just give me all the downforce you have Q'

Credit goes to Martin Brundle for this Vettel meme, posted by the Sky F1 commentator to his Instagram account.

Whether Vettel will be licensed to win with Aston Martin Racing in the future, only time will tell, but tech boss Andy Green - AMR's very own 'Q' genial inventor - will certainly do his best to supply the German driver with the right equipment to fulfill his mission.

"Just give me all the downforce you have Q."

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.
