Force India will have Max Chilton test the car in Abu Dhabi
La Force India confirmed that Max Chilton will test for the team during the days dedicated to young drivers from 15 to 17 November.
The 20-year-old has little experience in F1, having only done one aerodynamic test at Silverstone with the team last September. The driver drove for Carlin in GP2 this 2011 season.
“I can't wait to get in the car in Abu Dhabi,” said the Briton. “I've already spent some time with the team and I know a bit about how they work, but I hope to learn more quickly.”
“I raced a few times in Abu Dhabi in GP2 and this will help me. It's a great opportunity for me and I want to enjoy this experience and achieve what I can."
Positive words from Vijay Mallya: “We know how difficult it is to break into F1, and this is a great initiative, allowing teams to discover and evaluate new talent.”
“The drivers have the opportunity to learn more about the work of the F1 teams, away from the pressure of a race weekend and can gain good experience.”
