“At testing we can do a lot of laps and get a lot of information about the car, which is important. I’m looking forward to it.”

As for Red Bull’s new partnership with Oracle, chief Christian Horner believes it comes at an ideal time due to the new season cost cap of £107m for F1 teams.

Horner told AP: “We’re all about speed and the speed of response.

“We’re pushing the Oracle technical guys. But they’re responding in the best possible way. And that’s what makes this partnership very exciting.

“We’ve got a brand new set of regulations, a new technical challenge.

“We’ve got financial regulations that are driving and forcing efficiency, which is again where this partnership helps us to make sure that we’re as efficient and productive as we possibly can be.”

Meanwhile, fresh audio has emerged of the final minutes of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
