Jules Bianchi, the new reserve driver of team Sahara Force India F1, will also participate in the Formula Renault 3.5 championship with team Tech 1.

The French driver, who is a member of the Ferrari Academy, ran the last two seasons in the GP2 series, finishing third both years after a Formula 3 Euroseries title in 2009.

After he was confirmed as the third driver for Force India, Jules Bianchi, and his manager Nicolas Todt, announced that they were also aiming for a full racing programme in 2012, but not in GP2.

Bianchi will contest the Formula Renault 3.5 championship this season with French team Tech 1, alongside young and talented estonian driver Kevin Korjus.
