Daniel Ricciardo to test for Red Bull at Abu Dhabi

Red Bull Junior driver Daniel Ricciardo will drive Red Bull Racing’s Championship-winning RB6 at the forthcoming young driver test at the track in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday 16 November and Wednesday 17 November, 2010.

Runner-up in this year’s Formula Renault 3.5 series, Daniel has been with the Red Bull Junior Team since 2008 and has been Red Bull Racing’s reserve driver throughout 2010.

Talking at the Yas Marina circuit in Abu Dhabi today, Daniel Ricciardo said: “I can’t wait to get another crack at driving Red Bull Racing’s amazing Formula One car. I’ve been hanging out with the team and drivers all year at the races and it’s made my urge to drive the car again even stronger – if that was possible! It’s a year since I last drove the car (at last year’s young driver test) and I really want to make the most of the two days.”

Daniel is attending the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this weekend as Red Bull Racing’s reserve driver.
