Two rookie drivers will get their first taste of Formula 1 power later this week as they will perform aerodynamic tests for two different teams.
Caterham Racing GP2 driver, Sergio Canamasas will drive the Caterham F1 car for the first time this week when he completes an aero test with the Caterham F1 Team in France on Thursday.
The day will see the Spaniard behind the wheel of Caterham’s CT03 for one of the team's official 2013 aero tests, playing an important role in the on-going development of the car.
Canamasas graduated to GP2 in 2012 with Team Lazarus before moving to Caterham for 2013. He is yet to score his first championship point.
Marussia
Marussia young driver programme member, Tio Ellinas has been handed his first F1 test as he will conduct a scheduled straight-line aerodynamic evaluation with the team at the UK’s Kemble Airfield on Tuesday.
Ellinas, 21, is now in his second season of competition with Marussia Manor Racing in GP3 and currently leads the championship.
Last year, as the team’s most successful driver, he won a slot with Marussia in the 2013 F1 young driver test, which will take place at Silverstone next month.
His preparatory test this week will make Ellinas the first Greek-Cypriot to drive an F1 car.
