Red Bull completed a second filming day at Silverstone today, as Max Verstappen joined new teammate Sergio Perez to put the RB16B through its paces.

Verstappen and the test and reserve driver, Alex Albon also drove the RB15 as the team gathered promotional footage ahead of the season start in Bahrain next month.

On a cold, blustery day, Perez was given the honour of steering the RB16B onto Silverstone's National Circuit for its first laps and after a series of trouble-free runs the Mexican driver admitted it had been an emotional moment.

"Driving a new car is always special, for the driver and also for the team," said the Mexican. "They have been working so hard through the winter, so to finally take the car on track, it's quite an emotional day.

"I can say I think there is a lot of potential," he added. "The conditions were not great but it was nice to get a feeling for the car. It's pretty exciting. Earlier this week I drove the RB15 but today I could feel a step in overall grip and top speed."

After driving the RB15 in the morning, Verstappen jumped into the RB16B in the afternoon and was pleased to get an initial feeling for the new car.

"I started with the RB15 to just get a few laps in after the winter break and then I jumped into the RB16B," said the Dutch youngster. "Days like today are all about getting comfortable with the car and with the new power unit, trying to make things run smoothly and trying to be well prepared before we go testing in Bahrain.

"It's always good to be back driving a Formula One car and the first time you go out of the pits is such a great feeling."

"It's always great to see a new car hit the track for the first time and to see the drivers get their first laps in," said team boss, Christian Horner. "Today is for filming but allows us to make sure all the basics are functioning well before it all gets packed up and sent out to Bahrain and in that regard today was a success.

"It was good also to have Alex here driving the RB15 along with Max," he added. "It's important for Alex to stay sharp as he's going to play a crucial role in the development of RB16B."

For Albon, the opportunity to drive the RB15 and to share notes with his teammates on the RB16B was particularly useful as he embarks on the intense process of helping develop the car ahead of testing in Bahrain in just under three weeks' time and through the season.

"Being back at Silverstone is great and any day you get to drive a Formula One car is a good day and it was mega to get behind the wheel of the RB15 again to keep my eye in," said the youngster. "On my side, today was about understanding the personality of the RB16B, talking to Max, Checo, the engineers and getting their feedback so I can take it back to the factory where I'll be doing a lot of work to help with development, especially now so that we can hit the ground running in Bahrain."
