Red Bull Racing Confirms Silverstone Test Driver Line-Up

Infiniti Red Bull Racing has confirmed the names of its driver line-up for this week's three-day test at Silverstone. Following changes to the conditions of this week’s Young Driver Test set for July 17-19, the Milton Keynes-based squad announced an amended driver line-up.

Red Bull Junior Team driver António Félix da Costa will get behind the wheel of the RB9 in the morning sessions of Wednesday and Thursday, with Toro Rosso's Daniel Ricciardo taking over testing duties in the afternoon of Day 1. Following Da Costa's morning session on Day 2, Mark Webber will join the team for the permitted tyre testing in the afternoon.

On Friday, the third and concluding day of the test, Carlos Sainz Jr will test for the team, followed by current F1 Championship leader Sebastian Vettel in the afternoon.

Note: António Félix da Costa’s test with Infiniti Red Bull Racing fulfils the team’s commitment to grant the mid-season leader of the World Series by Renault a full day’s test in the RB9 F1 car.
