Abu Dhabi's Young Driver Test
Drivers are starting to be confirmed for the Young Driver's Test Sessions in Abu Dhabi at the end of the year. Renault will have Kevin Korjus from Estonia. He competed in the Renault World Series this year, fininshing sixth overall. There seems to be a scrum to get a seat at Toro Rosso.
Stefano Coletti seems to be the closest to getting one though. The driver from Monaco finished the 2010 GP3 championship in ninth overall. Also in with a shot of a Toro Rosso drive is Italian, Kevin Ceccon. The 18 year old won this years Auto GP Drivers Championship. Another driver who should feature is Charles Pic. It had been rumoured that he was set for a Toro Rosso seat, but it seems that Force India has gained his services.
Grosjean To Drive For Renault
Romain Grosjean will take a seat at Renault during first practice at Abu Dhabi and Brazil. Renault are trying to decide on next years driver line-up, and Swiss driver Grosjean seems to be a favourite to take the seat. At the moment he seems to be fighting with Senna, Petrov and Kubica to get one of the two Renault seats. Romain has driver for Renault before, competing in seven races in 2009. He managed to get to 13th place at Brazil.
HRT Recieve Double Penalty
Both Hispania drivers, Narain Karthikeyan and Daniel Ricciadro, have received grid-penalties after qualifying at India. Narain has been handed a 5-place penalty for impeding Michael Schumacher in Q1. Ricciadro has also got a 5-place penalty after a gearbox change. Both HRT will start on the back row of the gird. This is a huge dissapointment for the Spanish team, after both of their drivers had beaten Virgin.
