Toro Rosso team boss Franz Tost has confirmed that Verstappen will in a couple of weeks test a three year old Toro Rosso car so that he can get a feel for how a Formula One car works. 

Tost has also confirmed that from the US Grand Prix in Austin, Texas until the end of the season Verstappen will take part in free practice during the events. It has yet to be confirmed which driver he sub for but it is likely to sit into for Jean Eric Vergne.
