Daniel Juncadella awarded Ferrari test at Vallelunga

Newly-crowned European Formula 3 Champion Daniel Juncadella has been awarded a test drive with Ferrari, after the 21-year-old Spaniard stormed to the title last weekend at Hockenheim. This test will take place on November 9th, at the Autodromo Vallelunga which is situated just north of Rome.

The 21-year-old from Barcelona stormed to both the FIA European Formula 3 and the Formula 3 Euro Series Championship titles in dominant fashion throughout the 2012 season, winning a combined total of 10 races in both categories as well as pole position, fastest lap and the race victory at the Formula 3 Masters event at Zandvoort. Although Juncadella is not expecting his test with the Scuderia to lead to anything, the Spaniard is understandably eager to jump into Formula 1 machinery.

"It’s what every young racing driver wants to do from the very first part of your career," explained Daniel Juncadella to AutoSport. "It’s a dream come true for me. From the time I saw the prize was announced at the start of the year, it was something I really wanted to win."

Although Daniel Juncadella’s Formula 3 season is now over, the Spaniard will be kept rather busy in the coming weeks. Due to his overwhelming dominance throughout the year, the 21-year-old will test both Formula 2, World Series by Renault and DTM machinery, not to mention an upcoming GP2 test with Rapax later this month. With such a dominant display of driving throughout 2012, Daniel Juncadella is a name that could well crop up in the future as he continues his career up the motor sport ladder.
