Test driver Fairuz Fauzy will be back in the Lotus cockpit at the Hockenheim on Friday morning ahead of this weekend’s German Grand Prix. Fauzy, who had been scheduled to participate on Friday practice sessions at the forthcoming Hungarian, Singapore and in Abu Dhabi events, has landed a German practice outing after mechanical issues cut short his run at Silverstone.“It’s an exciting day for all of us in the Lotus Racing team - being able to tell the Fairuz that he has another Friday run a week before he thought he’d be back in the car is a great way to start the week, and we all know he’ll deliver for us, both on the track and in the feedback he’ll provide the team,” explained the team principal Tony Fernandes. “He’s an inspiration to the young drivers around the world, proving that being determined to make your dreams come true can make very exciting things that happen!”
The Malaysian was a test driver for the Spyker squad back in the 2007. Since then he has competed in the GP2 series, the World Series by the Renault, and the A1GP championship. In addition to his curtailed Silverstone outing for the Lotus, Fauzy also took part in a practice session at Sepang ahead of April's Malaysian Grand Prix.
