Red Bull Racing and the Scuderia Toro Rosso also oppose special Schumacher test
Along with the Williams F1 team, Red Bull Racing and the Scuderia Toro Rosso oppose the test where Michael Schumacher would drive a current Ferrari chassis, the F60. According to Red Bull boss Dietrich Mateschitz a similar test was requested for rookie Jaime Alguersuari but was denied, therefore they are not in agreeance with the special test.
"Schumacher is experienced enough to be fairly competitive in the new car very soon," Red Bull's motorsport director Helmut Marko told the 'Salzburger Nachrichten' newspaper.
Adding, "To let him do an extra test is not in the spirit of the regulations. We have the same opinion as stated in the rules, therefore we cannot agree with Michael getting a test exemption."
