Klien and Liuzzi to test for Force India 12 Nov 2007
Former Red Bull team mates Christian Klien and Vitantonio Liuzzi are set to drive for Force India this week at the multi-team test at Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya, as the former Spyker team ponder their 2008 drive line-up. The duo will be in action at the Spanish track alongside the squad’s contracted testers Roldan Rodriguez and Giedo van der Garde, and race driver Adrian Sutil.
Force India will run two of the Ferrari-powered former Spyker F8-VII chassis during the three-day test, which begins on Tuesday. Both cars will be painted with a distinctive interim burgundy red and white livery.
Rodriguez and Van der Garde will split driving duties for the opening day before Sutil, Liuzzi and Klien take over, dividing their time in the cars over the remaining two days.
Klien and Liuzzi are both looking for 2008 race seats. Liuzzi raced for Toro Rosso this season but has been replaced by Champ Car champion Sebastien Bourdais, while Klien, who spent 2007 as Honda’s test and reserve driver, is looking to make a return to competitive racing next year.
