Kimiya Sato for Sauber? Anyone know much about him?

Really wouldn't surprise me if he gets pulled for Sirotkin, in wake of today's news.

This "TBA" fellow must be pretty good then!
 
According to Carlos Miquel, Ferrari will use Rigon for two days and Massa for one day. He says Ferrari will announce this later today.
 
Force India will give GP2 racer James Calado a test at Silverstone this week, ahead of possible Formula 1 free practice outings later in the season.

Also two drives for Ricciardo
 
Kick in the teeth for Vergne, unless he's been told he'll drive another time. Certainly puts DR in a strong position to replace Webber, particularly if he impresses

I don't think it'll be about lap times for him, but more an exercise in technical feedback and working with the engineers. Apparently a lot of people inside RBR rated him very highly after working with him in the '09 and '10 YDTs.

As for Vergne, I really do feel for him, as he's a very talented driver (In wet conditions he's superb), and I hope that Dan getting this limelight doesn't affect him too much. But if I were him I'd get out of STR pretty quickly - but where to then?
 
Caterham have finally announced their line up. Stevens, who is a frontrunner in Formula Renault 3.5, said: "I spent quite a bit of time last week in the simulator so I'm comfortable with most of the systems I'll be working with and, while obviously nothing can really prepare you for the first time you drive an F1 car, I'm as ready as I can be."

Antonio's test with Infiniti Red Bull Racing fulfils the team's commitment to grant the mid-season leader of the World Series by Renault a full day's test in the RB9.

Red Bull's line up is by far the most interesting (except Sainz). It rules Vergne out for Webber's seat, they'll look a bit foolish if Vergne beats Ricciardo for the rest of the season now. Worrying seeing Cecotto getting a day for Toro Rosso.

Ferrari are putting a lot of faith in Rigon, would've been good if they'd given Bianchi a session.

tbh hers is the only name on there that pisses me off, complete waste of a seat imo.

Most of the drivers won't get a race seat at any point in their careers, so waste of time for them as well.

She may never race, but if her test times are reasonable it may raise some eyebrows.
