Canamasas to test for Caterham F1

EQ8 Caterham Racing GP2 driver Sergio Canamasas will step up to F1 for the first time, completing an aero test with Caterham F1 Team in France on 20th June.

The day will see Sergio behind the wheel of the CT03 race car for one of the team’s official 2013 aero tests, playing an important role in the on-going development of the CT03 car.

Mark Smith, Caterham F1 Team Technical Director: "The current regulations allow us to run a number of aero tests each season that give us the chance to run through aerodynamic development programmes away from the time constraints of an F1 race weekend. Sergio will be in the car for us at the test we will run on 20th June and he will help us run through a very busy day of track work, helping us to continue to develop and giving him another level of exposure to the F1 environment in which he is aiming to compete in the future."

Sergio Canamasas: "Taking part in the aero test with the F1 team is another step in my development and it’s good to have the chance to help the team continue the progress they’ve made so far this year. I’m going to the factory at Leafield before the test for a seat-fit and to go through the detailed runplan for the day with the engineers and with no GP2 activity until Silverstone at the end of June I can fully focus on my F1 work for the next few weeks."
