Italian driver Vitantonio Liuzzi last Thursday tested the Mercedes-Benz powered Force India's 2009 car at Kemble Airport (UK), three days before the team announced he would replace Giancarlo Fisichella.
The 28-year-old Italian, who became the Silverstone based team's test and reserve driver last year, was promoted on Monday to replace the Ferrari-bound Giancarlo Fisichella as of this weekend's Italian grand prix at Monza. Liuzzi drove the Mercedes-powered VJM02 up and down the airport's 2km runway as per the F1 testing agreement allowing some aerodynamic straight-line running during the race season. Kemble is about a 1.5-hour drive from Force India's English factory located in Silverstone.
