Bianchi to test at Mugello

26/04/2012

Force India has confirmed that Jules Bianchi will take part in next week's in-season test at Mugello

The Frenchman will be behind the wheel of the VJM05 on Tuesday, the first day of the three-day test, with Paul di Resta taking over on Wednesday and Nico Hulkenberg on Thursday.

Bianchi, who is contesting the Formula Renault 3.5 Series this season with Tech 1 Racing, was on duty for Force India in China replacing Paul di Resta in the Friday morning practice session. Previously, the 22-year-old got his Force India career off to an inauspicious start when he crashed the brand new car after just two laps at Jerez.
