Video: Jeremy Clarkson disses Kimi Raikkonen big time!

It's all just good banter of course but Jeremy Clarkson just reduced Kimi Raikkonen to a sloshed, staggering, boozy drunkard in a sequence of his programme, 'The Grand Tour'.

The show airs on demand on Amazon and regularly mocks celebrities in its 'Celebrity Brain Crash' segment which, to be honest, is usually more exasperating than funny.

At the end of the day, our Kimi would obviously burn Clarkson's XXXL pants off in any sort of face off with the former Top Gear pundit, be it behind the wheel of a motor car or behind a bar counter. We'll drink to that!

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.
