I am surprised Vettel is not participating. How can he expect to emulate Schumacher in developing the car to the maximum degree if he's not seizing one of the few opportunities to test ???
Each F1 Team dedicates seat time to development and reserve drivers as per the regulations, that state two of the four in-season test days are allocated to young driver training. Testing is focused more on upcoming drivers.
Sounds pretty dull compared with how testing was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APYZUNEh8Z4 I used to love driving through Bridge, was a real challenge especially in the wet. F1 really needs to sort its game out and return to full testing.
