McLaren race drivers sit out Silverstone test

McLaren has announced that Kevin Magnussen, Oliver Turvey and Gary Paffett will get behind the wheel of the MP4-28 chassis during the Young Driver Test at Silverstone this week, with race drivers Jenson Button and Sergio Pérez not a part of its plans. Although the FIA has permitted the use of full-time drivers at the July 17-19 test, to aid Pirelli with the evaluation of its new tyres, the team will run with Magnussen on the opening day, before long-time test drivers Turvey and Paffett take turns in the cockpit. Rival teams Lotus, Sauber and Williams have all officially confirmed that they will be fielding both designated rookie drivers and race drivers at the three-day gathering.
