Young Drivers Testing Re-Cap




Day 1 was a good day for Kevin Magnussen who set fasest time in the McLaren, topping Force India's Paul Di Resta, who was just barely slower than him! A lot of people are asking if any of these youngsters are fighting for a real drive in F1, and the answer is never easy. Mark Webber's Red Bull seat will likely be given to Daniel Ricciardo from Toro Rosso. And if that happens, it's then the question "Well, who gets Daniel's old seat?"

Formula 1 is unpredictable, and there's a lot more drivers than just Ricciardo who are interested in replacing Webber. Lotus indeed wants to keep Raikkonen, who most people thought would instantly be 2014's new Red Bull driver, partnering Sebastian Vettel. But it looks more likely we could have an underdog or rookie replacing the Australian Driver.
