Red Bull is “slaving around the clock” to solve its problems ahead of next weekend’s season-opening Australian Grand Prix.

Lewis Hamilton calls the car “stunning”, and McLaren’s Jenson Button thinks it is also fast.
“I was with (Daniel) Ricciardo for several laps and he couldn’t pass me on the straights,” said the Briton at the end of pre-season testing in Bahrain.
