Petrov’s Caterham debut set for Wednesday

20 February 2012

Vitaly Petrov will drive for Caterham for the first time on Wednesday, it has been confirmed by the English team. For 2012, the Russian replaces Jarno Trulli.

Petrov’s Caterham job was announced last Friday, joining Heikki Kovalainen as Trulli left the team with immediate effect. The Vyborg-born driver is now moving into his third Formula 1 season, having driven for Renault in 2010 and 2011.

Caterham’s Barcelona (1) line-up is as follows:

Tuesday – Heikki Kovalainen
Wednesday – Vitaly Petrov
Thursday – Vitaly Petrov
Friday – Heikki Kovalainen

The race line-up change is Caterham’s first since entering F1 as Lotus in 2010, with the exception of Karun Chandhok’s one-off drive in Germany last year.
