Red Bull Racing release driving schedule for first Barcelona testing week

Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen and Pierre Gasly will split the driving duties during the winter test in Barcelona for the coming week, as the Austrian team released their schedule for the first four track days.

The Bulls launched their car on Wednesday in a very eye-catching red and black livery, although this won't be the actual livery for the rest of the year. Once the F1 lands in Barcelona for the testing next Monday, they will have their trusted navy blue, yellow and red livery once again.

Max Verstappen will be the first driver to fire up the car, as he did in the shakedown on Wednesday, as the Dutchman takes on driving duties on Monday for the entire day. Him and Pierre Gasly will alternate for the rest of the week - Gasly on Tuesday, Verstappen on Wednesday, and Gasly on Thursday.

It will be Gasly's first go in the new RB15 on Tuesday as he prepares for his first season with his new team, after he got promoted from Toro Rosso after an impressive first full season there. The Frenchman is expected to need a few races to get to know the car and the team before he starts challenging Verstappen.
