Christian Horner has hinted the battle to replace Mark Webber in 2014 is now a straight fight between Daniel Ricciardo and Kimi Raikkonen ahead of the youngster's audition on Thursday.

While all eyes will be on Ricciardo when he runs in the Red Bull on Thursday afternoon, Lotus have announced that Raikkonen has been dropped from their schedule after deciding that they would gain more from a non-race driver evaluating new parts on the E21 than using the Finn to test the new tyres Pirelli intend to introduce in Hungary. Red Bull's updated Young Driver Test schedule:
Wednesday 17 July
- Antonio Felix Da Costa.
Thursday 18 July - Morning: Antonio Felix Da Costa; Afternoon: Daniel Ricciardo
Friday 19 July - Morning: Carlos Sainz Jr; Afternoon: Sebastian Vettel
