I think it's all about 'stock' price.
Currently AD is part of the F1 scene with a good reputation for setting quick times in testing and doing an all round sensible job - agreed testing is testing - but hear me out.
To jump into what is effectively someone else's car - a car he hasn't driven before, on tracks he hasn't driven before is a big risk - to that 'stock' price.
Sure, there is always the chance that you stun the opposition and the 'stock' price goes up. But many a young driver has been savaged by the old hands that know the car and tracks like the back of their hand.
I'm sure the 'Minardi' experience is upper most in his mind and he won't want a repeat of sitting in a strange car on a strange track again - with little preperation - when an F1 drive with BAR is within touching distance.
