A few driving options

Modern Formula One teams like to have a host of drivers available to them to carry out a number of different duties. For many teams, gone are the days of race drivers and one reserve, with development drivers, test drivers and third drivers part of a growing list of roles. At Ferrari, six drivers were on display during a filming day yesterday, with Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel joined by Esteban Gutierrez, Jean-Eric Vergne, Raffaele Marciello and Marc Gene.
