Fauzy first to test Lotus

15 February 2010

The Lotus team has confirmed to GPUpdate.net that test and reserve driver Fairuz Fauzy will be the first to drive as the 1Malaysia team makes its official testing debut at Jerez on Wednesday.

With poor weather conditions forecast, teams are gearing up for more rainy days of running, with flooding even being predicted for the area on Thursday.

Malaysian Fauzy's test will be his first official F1 session since driving with Spyker in 2007, although the 27-year-old did conduct Lotus' shakedown run at Silverstone last Tuesday.

Having driven between 9am and 5pm at Jerez, he will then hand over to regular race driver Heikki Kovalainen, who will pilot the Cosworth-powered car for two days before team-mate Jarno Trulli brings the session to a close on Saturday.
