IndyCar driver Danica Patrick, the winner of the Motegi race earlier this season, is likely to make her formula one test debut later this year, the Honda team's chief executive Nick Fry has admitted.

Patrick, the 26-year-old American, said recently she is "dead set" on eventually joining the grand prix circus, following her recent breakthrough win in the IndyCar series.

Fry is quoted as telling Kronen Zeitung, Austria's largest newspaper, that a test for Patrick is likely to be held in November, after the close of the 2008 season.

"We will put her into our car after the season at the latest and see how quick she is," the Briton said.

Fry added that the winter test will probably take place at either Barcelona or Jerez, in Spain.
