How very English

Red Bull hosted its Open House UK event on Tuesday at Stony Stratford Cricket Club, allowing fans the opportunity to get close to the two drivers and team principal Christian Horner ahead of the British Grand Prix. Media were also able to play cricket against the trio, with Horner apparently taking out his Renault-based frustrations by smashing numerous big shots, while Daniel Ricciardo showed a turn of pace with ball in hand (naturally, as an Aussie). Today marks Ricciardo's 26th birthday, so a big happy birthday to Daniel from all at F1i.
