For the series, there is room for youngsters, the two-day test at Silverstone scheduled for 12 and 13 July will be entirely the prerogative of the reserves and emerging talents.

And after Force India, Haas and Toro Rosso this Tuesday Red Bull confirmed that it will sit behind the wheel of the R12 Pierre Gasly, test driver for the energy team and leading name in GP2.

“Having had the two officials ride in Barcelona we decided to give our tester a chance” – the boss's explanation Christian horner.

“He has a multi-year contract with us and with various options – he continued, hinting at the possibility of seeing the Frenchman marry his sister from Faenza next year – In this test a very important task awaits him. It will be up to him to take advantage of it."
