Renault just signed up Sakon Yamamoto as test driver.
Has he become the THIRD test driver OR is he replacing someone?
And would that be Romain Grosjean or Lucas di Grassi ???

Neither.

It's more likely Yamamoto's been given a "role" because his old dear's company has just put a large bundle of cash into the RF1 bank account.

As the press release said, he'll be primarily tasked with doing the RF1 demo runs in the roadshow.

He's started too many F1 races to qualify as a rookie for the extra testing days, so that gig will fall to di Grassi, with Grosjean getting some time in the car alongside his GP2 responsibilities.

Thanks tidy tracks, that seems reasonable and crystal.
