Red Bull Racing's Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen are counting the days to the Australian Grand Prix.

With ten weeks to go, the atmosphere at Milton Keynes is slowly revving up, but the drivers are still in the doldrums with not much to do, as this video posted to Red Bull Racing's Twitter feed shows us.

In fact they're so bored that Dani Ric has resorted to reading David Coulthard's biography!

Are you as bored as they are? Read that backwards, it still makes sense...

When the #F1 season is still 10 weeks away...

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.
