Jaime Alguersuari will get behind the wheel for Pirelli this week, his first time since signing up to be the manufacturers official test driver.
The Spaniard, who was dropped by Toro Rosso last season, will test the company’s new test car, a modified Renault R30 from the 2010 season at the Jerez circuit.
The three-day event will take place between May 7th and 9th and is aimed at developing next years tyres. This test is the first of four, with other tests scheduled for Spa, Monza and Barcelona later in the year.
Pirelli has invited all 12 teams to send representatives to the test in order to prove that nobody will gain an unfair advantage from the use of a Renault F1 car.
