At least three teams are going ahead with the young driver test at Silverstone this week. With November's Abu Dhabi plans up in the air, there had been uncertainty the Silverstone alternative was going ahead at all until
HRT said Chinese driver Ma Qing Hua will be running on Thursday and Friday.
The French-language news agency AFP now reports that
Williams and
Marussia will also be in action. Williams will be running its reserve and 'Friday' driver
Valtteri Bottas, while the Marussia-sponsored GP2 drivers
Max Chilton and
Rio Haryanto will also be in action. AFP said Thursday's running will be on the full British grand prix circuit, before a shorter 10-corner layout is used on Friday. It is rumoured, meanwhile, that
Ferrari will be running its young drivers neither at Silverstone nor Abu Dhabi, opting instead to test alone at Jerez at the end of the season. (GMM)
