Italian driver Mirko Bortolotti clinched the 2011 FIA Formula Two Championship on Sunday by claiming victory at Monza in Italy.

Because of the links that exist between the series and the famous British Formula One team, the new champion is offered a full F1 test. Bortolotti will test with the Williams F1 team at Abu Dhabi in November. The Italian will also qualify for an FIA Superlicence.

The young driver test in Abu Dhabi takes place at Yas Marina on November 15-17 in the week following the Grand Prix of Abu Dhabi.

Bortolotti has previous Formula One testing experience with teams Ferrari and Toro Rosso.
