He is one of the most dedicated drivers I have ever worked with and has shown in both GP3 and the GP2 testing that he has a huge amount of speed and potential and we will all be doing our best to reach that potential together throughout the season. Simon moved forward a lot with his performance at the end of the 2011 GP3 season and we are confident that he can continue that development in 2012.”

Simon Trummer comments: “Six years ago, I was with my dad and my brother watching the Formula One Grand Pix at Hockenheim, with GP2 support. I said to them both, it would be my dream to drive a car like this one time in my life! Now, six years later, I will do my first season in such a strong series as GP2. I will do everything I can to take my chance and to be successful! To continue the season with Arden is another joy for me. They are such a great team with such good people in it, I really feel like I am in a family with them. Finally, thanks to my team who is working for me for a long time, without them I never would be in GP2, they did an unbelievable job!”
