Hartley to test for Red Bull

By on

Brendon Hartley will participate in the Jerez F1 test session which starts on 15 December. Hartley and Sebastian Buemi will cover for Mark Webber at the Red Bull Racing Team. Webber, who had a cycling accident, is not expected to return to the cockpit before February.

Hartley, who just turned 19, completed a private shakedown of the new Ferrari-engined Toro Rosso earlier this year and had a brief run in the Red Bull car at Silverstone before the Japanese GP. But for the youngster it will be his first complete day in an F1 car at Jerez.
