Racing Engineering has confirmed its driver line-up for the upcoming GP2 Final of 2011 in Abu Dhabi. In the cockpits will be championship regular Fabio Leimer of Switzerland, who will then remain at Yas Marina to test the Sauber Formula 1 car, and Nathanaël Berthon of France, who this year raced in Formula Renault 3.5.
“The two successful GP2 tests in Jerez and Barcelona have shown us what is possible if everything is working well,” Leimer comments.
“Therefore I am happy that I have the chance to additionally test the potential of this team under race conditions. We have obviously already tried different solutions for Abu Dhabi during the Barcelona test and I am actually quite confident we will make a good impression.”
“It's almost a year ago since I was racing in Abu Dhabi and I am looking forward to another weekend there with Racing Engineering,” adds Berthon. “It's a real pleasure to work with the team again. I am sure that everything will go well during the weekend, as the car is good.”
Berthon is also sure that he will not suffer any ill effects of his huge Barcelona accident in the final World Series by Renault race earlier this month.
“Physically I am strong and I like the track,” he continued of Yas Marina. “I was competitive during the Abu Dhabi races last winter and, since then, I have gained quite a lot more experience. I know the car and track now. I am really, really confident for the race weekend in Abu Dhabi.”
