Abu Dhabi Young Drivers Test: Day Two

Jean-Eric Vergne is the fastest for the second day at Abu Dhabi for Red Bull.

From 15th to 17th November, young drivers will be testing cars for the Formula One teams in the annual Young Drivers Test at Abu Dhabi. Some teams have their test drivers, others have reserve drivers, while some have drivers from other series. Here's how day two went:


Jean-Eric Vergne was fastest again for Red Bull, beating Ferrari's Jules Bianchi by less than a tenth of a second at the Yas Marina circuit. Vergne only got 43 laps in though, after a KERS problem delayed his afternoon running. Bianchi was testing a new engine management device on the Ferrari, who yesterday experimented with a large airflow measuring device. Esteban Gutierrez, a regular reserve for Sauber, drove at the test for Sauber for the third year running (right).
