Formula 1 teams McLaren and Toro Rosso have revealed on Wednesday their line-ups of the Young Driver tests to be held at the Yas Marina circuit in Abu Dhabi next week.

Oliver Turvey will drive for McLaren again, sharing the car with the team's regular test driver Gary Paffett.

GP2 frontrunner Turvey had previously run with McLaren in last winter's young driver test as his prize for winning the 2006 McLaren Autosport BRDC Award.

The Scuderia Toro Rosso will provide an STR5-Ferrari for Jean-Eric Vergne.

Vergne is a product of the Red Bull Young Driver programme and this year he won the British International Formula 3 championship, taking 13 wins, 20 pole positions and 14 fastest race laps.
