Perez ready to start his new 'adventure'

40

Sergio Perez clocked in at Milton Keynes this week for his first day on the job with Red Bull Racing.

Perez, who replaces Alex Albon in the team this year alongside Max Verstappen, was introduced to Red Bull's staff and to his engineers before he underwent a seat fitting.

On Twitter, the former Racing Point charger and 2020 Sakhir GP winner said that he was "ready to start this great adventure" with his new employer.

And there's no doubt the Mexican's many fans are also raring to see their man in action and have a go at Mad Max.

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.
