With Alexander Wurz driving the third McLaren in Germany and Hungary, Pedro de la Rosa is back in the 'hot seat' for this weekend's inaugural Turkish Grand Prix.
This weekend will be the ninth time that the Spaniard has driven the third car for the Woking team this season, not forgetting Bahrain, where the former Jaguar, Prost and Arrows star deputised for Juan Pablo Montoya.
"I had the opportunity to visit the Istanbul Speed Park earlier this year," reveals Pedro, "when the circuit was in the final stages of construction. It looks like a great track, with some interesting and unique corners.
"Because we have no track data, the process of selecting the correct tyre with Michelin on Friday will be particularly key."
