"My main goal is to learn as much as I possibly can and help the team work through the program they set – I know I will be given all the help and advice I need, now I just want to get started!" said Leal.

"I am very pleased that we have been able to give Julián this opportunity and I am sure he will do a very good job for us in his test," added Christijan Albers, Caterham F1 Team CEO.
