Sebastian Vettel's forthcoming test with Red Bull Racing will take place over two of the three days at Jerez, it has emerged.

It emerged on Friday that the current Toro Rosso driver, who is to replace David Coulthard at RBR next year, is being given the opportunity to drive the senior team's car essentially in order to get used to the different Renault engine and characteristics.

It is now clear that Vettel, 21, will be in action on three consecutive days at the Spanish session later this month, as he drives two days with his future team and then rounds out his duties by returning to his usual STR cockpit.
