Ricciardo and Hartley take on RBR/Toro Rosso duties
Red Bull Racing and Toro Rosso have announced Daniel Ricciardo and Brendon Hartley as their reserve drivers for the 2010 Formula One season.
The pair, who are both backed by Red Bull in junior formulae, will alternate the reserve driver duties on a race-by-race basis.
Ricciardo, a 20-year-old from Australia, is the current British Formula Three Champion while 20-year-old Hartley, from New Zealand, finished third in the 2008 British F3 Championship before moving to the F3 Euroseries and Formula Renault 3.5 last year.
Ricciardo and Hartley, who took part in F1's young driver test in Spain last month for RBR and Toro Rosso respectively, will also contest the Formula Renault 3.5 series in 2010.
Hartley performed the reserve driver role for a spell last season but eventually stepped down in order to concentrate on his racing.
Outlining their duties at race weekends, a Red Bull statement said: "Daniel and Brendon will sit-in on the briefings and debriefs, attend driver meetings and familiarise themselves with the everyday workings of the garage and pit wall."
