24/10/2012

Toro Rosso has confirmed that Luiz Razia and Johnny Cecotto Junior will drive the STR7 at the forthcoming Young Driver Test in Abu Dhabi.

Razia (right) will have two days at the wheel of the car on Tuesday and Thursday. The 23 year old Brazilian finished second in this year's GP2 series, having come up through the ranks of the usual junior formulae. His previous experience in an F1 car consists of a young driver test for Virgin in 2010 and in 2011 he drove for Lotus in FP1 at the Chinese Grand Prix, as well as taking part in that year's young driver test.

Johnny Cecotto will drive on the Wednesday. The twenty three year old Venezuelan is the son of the former racer and motorcycle world champion of the same name. Cecotto has raced in GP2 since 2009. He finished ninth overall in this year's championship, his best result to date. Highlights of the season include a pole position and win in Monaco and another victory in Hockenheim.
