Does it seem an age since the last Formula 1 Grand Prix in November? Can't wait until the lights go out in Australia 62 days time? Then you are not alone!

And it's not just fans who can't wait for the new season to get started. The drivers are also chomping at the bit to get to racing And none more than Red Bull team mates Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen.

Proving that born racers will race literally anything, here the pair downsize their usual cars for a Razor Crazy Cart, as captured on video on the official Red Bull website:

The Razor Crazy Cart is a battery powered ride-on kart-type affair with a single pneumatic front tyre. It boasts swivelling rear castors and a special drift bar for precision handling of spins, corners and drifting.

Obviously it's just the sort of thing to cheer Ricciardo and Verstappen on a dreary Friday afternoon at the office. They immediately set off to tear up the Red Bull headquarters and factory floor with their antics. Team workers - including boss Christian Horner - crane their necks for a look as the pair find new ways of exploring their working environment.

And as well as the full-length video, here's a couple of extra 'outtakes' from the filming of the lads' antics that the team shared on Twitter over the weekend:
