A member of the Red Bull Junior programme, Gasly will drive for the Scuderia Toro Rosso at the Barcelona test directly after the Spanish Grand Prix.
Gasly ranked second to current Toro Rosso driver Carlos Sainz in last year’s Formula Renault 3.5 series.
This year, Gasly will compete in the GP2 series for French team DAMS.
Gasly Wednesday wrote on his Twitter account: “Delighted to drive for the first time in a F1 car with @ToroRossoSpy. I will try to get the best out of it and learn as much as possible!”
