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!
