That’s Alexander Rossi, not Valentino. Team Lotus has announced the 20-year-old Caterham Team AirAsia GP2 driver will drive their F1 car at the young driver test in Abu Dhabi (15–17 November).
The young American says, “I am very excited to finally announce I will be competing in Abu Dhabi with Caterham Team AirAsia and will have the chance to put more F1 miles on my CV with Team Lotus. After the positive GP2 tests in Jerez and Barcelona I feel we have a good chance of a strong result in the GP2 races and I will definitely be going into the weekend fully focused and motivated for a race win.
“For the F1 test I will be looking to learn as much as possible, do the best job I can and soak up every minute, in and out of the car.”
