Formula One returns to the Magny Cours circuit in France this week for the first since 2008 as three team's tack to the track for the 2012 Young Driver test programme. Force India, Ferrari and Mercedes AMG will all have driver's in action over the next four day's. Jules Bianchi will be in action for Ferrari, putting the F2012 through it's test programme before switching to Force India. The Frenchman is part of Ferrari's young driver programme and is also Force India's test and reserve driver.
Britain's Sam Bird will be testing a major upgrade package on the Mercedes AMG ahead of the Singapore GrandPrix in two week's time.
It is going to be interesting to see how the test goes. I believe that instead of running the young driver test programme team's should be allowed to trade the young driver test for a full day's testing for their race driver's to iron out any potential problems they may have.
For example, it would be ideal for McLaren as Jenson Button to us as he had a suspected fuel pick up problem and also for the two RedBull driver's who failed to finish the race and that was RedBull's first double retirement since Korea 2010
