So what do you suppose pushing this little red button on the steering wheel of the RB11 is likely to do? We're not sure that Daniel Ricciardo or Dannil Kvyat have time to catch up with programmes on the BBC iPlayer, but we're also hoping that it doesn't unleash a pre-emptory nuclear strike on their rivals in the Formula One paddock either!

This intriguing detail was to be seen on the team's Twitter page with a message encouraging visitors to "Go on, push it" and accompanied by the hashtag #PushtheBoundaries. So - do you dare? Or shall we play safe and stick with the green button next to it? Decisions, decisions...
