GP2 drivers Luiz Razia and Johnny Cecotto Jr. will drive for Scuderia Toro Rosso at the Abu Dhabi Young Driver test, the team having chosen not to use graduates of the Red Bull young driver program.

Razia, who finished runner-up in this year’s GP2 series, has previously driven at the same test for the former Lotus and Virgin teams, and also drove in FP1 for the former at the 2011 Chinese GP.

Cecotto, who drove for Force India in last year’s Abu Dhabi test, will have the car on the Wednesday, while Razia will drive on Tuesday and Thursday.
