John Wick on a mission in Milton Keynes

40

Big Formula 1 fan Keanu Reeves – or was it John Wick, or Neo? - dropped in on Red Bull Racing on Tuesday in Milton Keynes.

The Hollywood actor who is a frequent visitor to the paddock was welcomed by team boss Christian Horner who posted the above picture to his Instagram account with a teasing caption.

"Great to welcome Keanu Reeves to the @redbullracing campus once again today," wrote Horner.

"There’s an exciting project in store. Stay tuned!"

Horner may have been referring to Reeves narration of an upcoming Disney+ docu-series that will recount the remarkable story of Brawn GP and its equally extraordinary run to the world title with Jenson Button in 2009.

As Christian says, stay tuned...

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.
