Daniel Ricciardo left Red Bull chiefs impressed by his pace in his first Formula 1 outing since losing his place on the grid.
The Aussie has been a reserve driver so far this season having lost his McLaren place last year. However, that will no longer be the case now that he has been loaned out to sister team AlphaTauri to replace Nyck de Vries.
Regardless of that move, though, he was always due to get his first slice of real-life action in an F1 car on Tuesday, as he took part in an official Pirelli tyre test at Silverstone.
