VIPs at the FIM Motocross Grand Prix of the Netherlands

By Youthstream
Kimi Räikkönen, Sami Hyypiä and Keith Flint visited Valkenswaard during the Grand Prix of the Netherlands last weekend. Youthstream’s President Mr. Giuseppe Luongo had the opportunity to spend some time with all these celebrities and exchange some experiences on Easter Monday at Valkenswaard.

2007 F1 World Champion Kimi Räikkönen entered the 2011 FIM Motocross World Championship as the team owner of the ICE1RACING Team with Toni Eriksson and Ludde Söderberg as the official riders in the MX1 and MX2 classes. Räikkönen, who is now racing the World Rally Championship and in May will enter the Nascar, decided to attend the second Grand Prix of the season to spend some time with his MX team and give some good pieces of advice to his riders. Räikkönen counts with the experience of seven times Enduro World Champion Kari Tiainen, who shares his long experienced career with his young riders developing his role as team manager.

Sami Hyypiä, football defender of Bayer Leverkusen and former player of Liverpool, with whom he won the UEFA Super Cup in 2001 and 2005 and the Champions League in 2005, also visited the Grand Prix of the Netherlands last weekend.

And Keith Flint, the singer of the well-known group Prodigy, met Mr. Giuseppe Luongo at the VIP Pit Lounge of the Grand Prix of the Netherlands on Easter Monday. The British singer admitted that he is a motorcycle fan and he enjoyed the experience of watching the best motocross of the world from the VIP Pit Lane.

A Taste Of F1 for the Netherlands

Sebastian took time out yesterday to support up and coming drivers at a karting challenge in the Netherlands.

Red Bull had searched the country for 26 racing talents to take part in the Kart Final Fight at the GP Masters of Formula 3 event at the Circuit Park Zandvoort and our man was there to pass on advice and hand over trophies to the winners: Mark Megens (14) and Sander van Os (26)

After the races and the prize-giving Vettel took the Red Bull Running Showcar down the start-finish straight to demonstrate some straight-line speed, donuts and burn-outs.

As well as the drivers attending former Dutch footaball star Edgar Davids was on hand. Possibly to ask Seb the best way to take a corner…

Seb's diary, Zandvoort

Today I stopped by at the Masters of Formula 3 at Zandvoort (Holland).

Early in the morning I had a briefing with the kart winners from a karting championship that had been going for weeks, with the final to take place today. The kids were aged 15 or under 15, that was very funny because the questions were sometimes quite different from the ones I get asked over and over otherwise.

Then I watched the final kart race of the children, in which two children were honored in two different classes. I could give them their trophy on the podium and then we celebrated the victory with a kind of sparkling water ...

I immediately reminded of my karting times, but I had not been to the podium in the Formula Masters...

After we went to the podium press conference at which I sat between the two winners and we were asked questions.

After the Formula 3 race where I distributed the trophies, I could finally check out the track in a show car. After a few laps I took my leave with some burn outs. It was really fun. Now we go to Montreal.
