The Sauber F1 Team have confirmed that following his outing in the opening practice session for the Chinese Grand Prix two weeks ago, test driver Giedo Van Der Garde will once again drive the C33 in the opening Friday practice session for the Spanish Grand Prix at the Circuit De Catalunya in Barcelona next weekend.
The Swiss outfit confirmed that the former Caterham driver will be behind the wheel of Esteban Gutierrez's car on Friday morning. The team also confirmed that Van Der Garde will drive for the team on the opening day of the second in season test that will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday following the Spanish Grand Prix.
Esteban Gutierrez will take over from the Dane on Wednesday. Speaking about the news Van Der Garde said:
'It is nice to come back to Europe and especially to Barcelona. The Circuit de Catalunya is a track that I like a lot. We will have some updates and our C33 will weigh less, so it will be interesting to see how the car behaves'.
