One of them was Springbok captain Siya Kolisi, who not only watched the first day of training unfold but was also invited to be part of the Red Bull pit crew.
The two-time World Cup winner took to Instagram on Friday afternoon to show his commitment to a team that has been so dominant so far this season.
“No, I'm not ready yet,” Kolisi joked when asked if he could help change the tyres on the Red Bull RB20.
But Kolisi helped to push-start one car before the experienced Red Bull crew, who often change tyres in under two seconds during a Grand Prix, got to work.
Despite Kolisi's help, it wasn't the Red Bulls' best day.
They upped the pace in both the first and second practice sessions, with Mercedes (Lewis Hamilton) and Ferrari (Charles Leclerc) leading the timing boards.
