Fuoco to make Ferrari debut

Esteban Gutierrez and Antonio Fuoco will be on duty for Ferrari at the post-GP test at the Red Bull Ring.

19 year old Fuoco, from Calabria, a Ferrari Driver Academy student, will be making his debut in an official Formula One test.

He is due to drive on the first of the two days, Tuesday 23, before vacating the cockpit to make way for Gutierrez, the Maranello outfit's third driver.

Fuoco is currently racing in GP3 with Carlin and this is a significant opportunity for him, as part of the programme which the Maranello outfit runs to help the development of young drivers.

That said, with only two in-season tests, and this being the last, it seems surprising that neither of the regular race drivers will be on duty, especially at a time Williams appears to be closing the gap.
