Fuoco and Ilott set for Barcelona in-season test

Antonio Fuoco and Ferrari junior Callum Ilott will take part in next week's two-day in-season test at Barcelona, the two young drivers running respectively with Ferrari and Alfa Romeo.

The Scuderia confirmed Fuoco's presence in Spain, with the 22-year-old set to follow Charles Leclerc at the wheel of the Scuderia's SF90 on the second day of testing at the Circuit de Catalunya.

However, Ferrari will run two cars on each day as Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel also handle 2020 compound testing for Pirelli.

A former member of Ferrari's Driver Academy, Fuoco has retained a link with the Scuderia, working in Maranello as a simulator driver.

The 22-year-old, who sampled F1 machinery with Ferrari in 2015 and 2016, took part in the FIA Formula 2 Championship in 2017 and 2018, winning three races in the series, respectively with Prema and Charouz.

His current schedule includes the Italian GT championship in which he drives an AF-Corse Ferrari 488 GT3.

British hopeful Ilott will make his F1 debut with the Alfa Romeo squad on Tuesday.

The two young drivers' nominations imply that Mick Schumacher who tested for Ferrari and Alfa Romeo in Bahrain last month will not be driving in Barcelona next week.
