Motor Racing - Formula One Young Drivers Test - Day One - Silverstone, EnglandMotor Racing - Formula One Young Drivers Test - Day One - Silverstone, England

Antonio Felix da Costa impressed many with his Macau victory at the weekend, winning both the qualifying race and Sunday's F3 World Cup event at the iconic venue. The Portuguese driver says it won't open the door to another chance in F1, but the result does highlight his unmistakable talent. Felix da Costa last drove an F1 car in 2013, taking part in the Young Driver Test for Red Bull at Silverstone but missing out to Carlos Sainz and Daniil Kvyat for a race seat at Toro Rosso the following year.
