Red Bull Racing rolled back the clock last Sunday at Goodwood’s Festival of Speed to celebrate its 20th anniversary at the immensely popular classic event.

Bulls past and present - Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez, Mark Webber, David Coulthard, Christian Klein, Christian Horner, Adrian Newey and Hamda Al Qubaisi - powered up the hill in their respective Red Bull machines to form the largest procession of F1 cars in the festival’s 31-year history.

And in another first, Red Bull racing team boss Christian Horner strapped himself for the very first time in the seat of an RB car - the championship winning RB8 - to undertake the climb up the hill.

When all was said and done, the reunited family came together for a royal salute on the balcony at Goodwood House.

“Glorious Goodwood really lived up to its name today,” commented Horner. “It was a truly incredible moment to take the living, breathing history of Red Bull Racing up the iconic hill.

“In our 20th season in the sport, we continue to break records, bringing the biggest ever parade of Formula 1 cars to Goodwood, is certainly one we won’t forget.

“It was a privilege to take the wheel alongside some of the drivers and members of this Team who have formed such a significance part of Red Bull Racing history. Getting the gang back together was very special.”

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.
