Young driver test to take place before season finale

As in 2010, Abu Dhabi is set to host a young drivers’ test later this year.

But unlike last year, the event - seeing inexperienced youngsters entrusted with F1 teams’ grand prix cars - will not take place immediately after the season finale, according to a report by Italiaracing.

Indeed, in 2011, Brazil is scheduled to host the last round of the championship in late November.

It means the young drivers’ test at Abu Dhabi will take place two weeks before the season concludes, after the Yas Marina event in the middle of 2011’s penultimate month.
