Yas Marina day one - Vergne sets young driver pace

Jean-Eric Vergne led the times at Yas Marina on Tuesday for Red Bull, as this week's young driver test got underway in Abu Dhabi. Vergne, who was second in this year's Formula Renault 3.5 series, clocked a best time of 1m 40.011s in the RB7 to finish almost a second ahead of Jules Bianchi in the Ferrari.

The 21 year-old Frenchman carried out aerodynamic testing as part of the team's preparations for 2012 and evaluated some prototype Pirellis for next season. He completed 83 laps. He will continue to test on Wednesday and Thursday.
