If you mean that you wish to replace Gene with De La Rosa for the rest of this season, I'm afraid that this isn't possible.

I think I've already said this more than once but, I have no record of you ever giving me your testing plans.
After looking at my inbox just now I still have the pms from all the other managers stating their testing plans for the Barcelona test, so if you sent your plans via pm it is highly unlikely I would've deleted it especially considering I still have pms from a year ago hanging around in my inbox. Also even in the unlikely circumstance that I have somehow deleted your plans from my inbox, it shouldn't matter anyway because as soon as I receive testing plans I will open my spreadsheet and write in the conveniently placed table, 'Red Bull - Reliability', then immediately add the necessary numbers into the formula to generate the new perfs and then write, 'Updated', next to, 'Red Bull - Reliability' to prevent me dishing out double the amount of BHP boost or reliability improvement, and of course I will always save the spreadsheet once I'm finished with it. In addition to this by recording each teams plans in a table I can easily see whose plans I haven't yet received.
So when the test sessions near I will look at said table to see whose plans I'm missing and before doing anything else, I will check my pms again to see if I've somehow missed their plans there, and if they aren't in my inbox, I will then check the thread again to see if they've submitted their plans that way. Only if after this verification check will I make a post in the thread saying, 'I'm missing such and suches plans'
So seeing as I don't have any pm from you with your testing plans, and I can't see them posted in the thread, I can only conclude that, you did not submit your testing plans.
Of course, just as I said last you complained about this, if you can show me where you've told me your testing plans for the test, I'll happily hold my hands up and admit fault and compensate for screwing up your session.

Ferrari On Top In Jerez
As Formula One once again returned to Jerez for another test session is was really no surprise that once again Ferrari were the ones leading the way. After having topped both of the previous test sessions this season at the Spanish circuit Ferrari occupied the top two places with Alonso beating Verstappen by just under half a thousandth of a second, whilst newly promoted McLaren driver, Nico Rosberg, rounded out the top 3. With all teams choosing to attend the session there seemed to be little gossip to discuss, however soon arriving at the track rumours began to spread about the apparent absence of Heikki Kovalainen from the Sauber garage and after further probing, it was discovered that Kovalainen has been released from his Sauber contract after signing to driver for Super Aguri next season and, that Robert Doornbos would be taking over his testing duties for the remainder of the season.

Mclaren Mercedes
A good session for Nico but a poor one for Ryan. We feel we got the most out of the car today and that we developed our reliability well. Only time will tell though.

Very satisfying session for Ferrari, our drivers are in top form like never before and the car is responding just as we want!!

Heidfeld Tops Magny Cours Free Practice
As F1 descended on a rain soaked Magny Cours for this years French Grand Prix, it was Nick Heidfeld in the Sauber who was able to make the best of the changing conditions and come out on top. The German was the last man across the line, which allowed him to pip Jos Verstappen to 1st place, meanwhile Felipe Massa occupied 3rd.

Vettel Snatches Magny Cours Pole
As rain continued to fall on central France it was again a case of being the last man over the line in qualifying and the lucky gentlemen this time was Sebastian Vettel. Having been just moments away from starting 21st on the grid, Vettel managed to start the lap that would give himself pole, moments before the checkered flag fell and just took it just seconds after Button had gone quickest. Fernando Alonso meanwhile, set the third fastest time with Heidfeld rounding off a superb qualifying session for Sauber in 4th. Further down the field Sato pulled out a stunner of a lap to go 6th as did Davidson in 8th, whilst Rosberg had a difficult session lanquishing in 14th but it was no where near as bad as Red Bull's who will start 18th and 20th respectively.
