Briton Callum Ilott will be Ferrari’s Formula 1 test driver in 2021. The 22-year-old, who finished second in Formula 2 to Mick Schumacher this year, called the move a “great opportunity”. Ilott said it was “an honour” to be part of Ferrari’s driver academy for the last three years and that his new role is “an exciting new challenge”.
