The young drivers’ tests are going to be somewhat disrupted this year. Indeed, while Williams, HRT, and Marussia conducted their young drivers’ tests last week at the Silverstone circuit, many expected the other nine teams on the grid to run in Abu Dhabi after the Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

Red Bull, McLaren, Lotus, Sahara Force India, Sauber, Toro Rosso, and Caterham, on the other hand, should stick with the initial choice of Abu Dhabi, either due to the big teams’ intentions or for cost and logistics reasons for the others \u2014 with the Singapore Grand Prix shortly after Monza.<\/p>\n
