Verstappen will not test for Red Bull in Austria

Max Verstappen has denied rumours he is on the cusp of stepping up a notch in his already meteoric Formula 1 career.

Already the youngest racer and points scorer in the sport's entire history, the 17-year-old Toro Rosso rookie was being linked with a potential move into the lineup of the senior team, Red Bull Racing, for next week's post-race test.

"I will be with Toro Rosso," the Dutchman told De Telegraaf newspaper. "That would be the wisest, as that is the car I will be driving for the rest of the year."
