Silverstone Formula 1 testing begins - full driver line-up

The latest of Formula 1's in-season tests kicked off at Silverstone on Tuesday morning

The 11 teams have 16 hours of running scheduled over the two days to trial updates to their cars ahead of this month's back-to-back F1 races in Germany and Hungary.

Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkonen was due to drive on day one, but is skipping the test following his high-speed accident in the British Grand Prix.

Development driver Pedro de la Rosa will take over planned tyre testing for Pirelli from Raikkonen on Tuesday, while Ferrari has called up Marussia's Jules Bianchi to drive its F14 T on Wednesday.

Bianchi will drive for his regular team today, before handing the car over to team-mate Max Chilton for day two.

Caterham will divide its running between three drivers. Formula Renault 3.5 driver Will Stevens is in the car for Tuesday morning, while GP2 racers Julian Leal and Rio Haryanto will also get seat time in CT05.

Here is the full line-up for the test:
