Red Bull Junior driver Jean-Eric Vergne will drive the Championship-winning
RB7 at the forthcoming Young Driver Test in Abu Dhabi, from Tuesday 15 to
Thursday 17 November 2011.

Similar to last year’s test driver Daniel Ricciardo in 2010, Jean-Eric was
runner up in this year’s Formula Renault 3.5 series. He has been with the Red
Bull Junior Team since 2007 and in 2010 he won the British Formula Three
Championship. This year he completed Friday driving duties for Scuderia
Toro Rosso at the Japanese Grand Prix.

Jean-Eric said: “I’m really looking forward to driving the RB7 in Abu Dhabi. I
know the track already and have had some track time in a Formula One car
this year, which will help. I’m extremely happy that Red Bull Racing has given
me this opportunity, it will be a massive experience for me and to be driving
the best Formula One car is something quite amazing. I will make the best out
of the three days, it will be an important three days and I’m looking forward
to it.”
