For Valtteri Bottas, there’s nothing like finding one’s zen in the heart of Northern Finland’s wilderness.

After pushing the limits on a grueling gravel bike ride, the Sauber charger and partner Tiffany Cromwell immersed in the serenity of a secluded jacuzzi.

It’s a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation for Bottas as he unwinds in style, ready to return to the track at the end of the month refreshed and rejuvenated.

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.
