Tatiana Calderon will get the chance to test a Formula One car for the second time when she takes to the circuit at Ferrari’s test track this weekend.

The Colombian will drive Sauber’s 2013 C32 car at Fiorano on both Saturday and Sunday, with Sauber believing it "will represent an excellent opportunity for Tatiana to advance in her learning process and development".

Calderon received her first opportunity to drive an F1 car not so long ago when she drove the current Sauber car at a showcase event after the Mexican Grand Prix, but this will be her first proper shot at a serious test.

She is excited to get going with the test and said: "It is great to be behind the wheel of a Formula 1 car again so quickly after my debut earlier this month.

"This next step will be even more special, as I will complete two full days of testing in the Sauber C32-Ferrari.

"It will be exciting to gain further experience and to learn more about these cars. I look forward to continuing to work, develop, and improve together with the team."
