David Coulthard has been given the chance to drive a few laps in the RB19 by Red Bull Racing. The Scot also drove the RB1, which is the first in the series of RB cars. At the Silverstone circuit, it is all happening for the former driver, who has never driven a V6 hybrid F1 car before.

In the garage, he runs into Liam Lawson. After the New Zealander explains a bit about the car, Coulthard jokes: ''You know we are in competition for the drive in this car next year. So, once i get my suit on, I can't be friendly.'' Christian Horner gives him some more advice, in the words of Bernie Ecclestone: ''Don't f**k it up.''
