Max Verstappen at Abu Dhabi test for Toro Rosso

Toro Rosso has only formalized one driver for the end of season testing in Abu Dhabi on November 25 and 26. The 17-year-old Dutchman Max Verstappen will be behind the wheel of the car from the Faenza team during the two days of testing.

“Given that he will be driving for us over the two days of testing in Abu Dhabi which starts on the Tuesday following the Grand Prix, Max Verstappen will have a good opportunity to learn the track at that time. This means he will not take part in the Friday morning session, so Jean-Eric Vergne and Daniil Kvyat are our only drivers this weekend. » the team said in a press release.

Remember that Toro Rosso has still not formalized Verstappen's teammate for 2015, Jean-Eric Vergne, Carlos Sainz Jr., who will be testing with Red Bull, Pierre Gasly (who drove in FR 3.5 in 2014, then in GP2, Editor's note) or even Alex Lynn, leader of the GP3 Series, remain in the running for this seat according to Franz Tost, the Team Principal.
