Autosport.com are claiming that another GP2 star in the form of Alexandre Premat will be testing for the team at Silverstone on Wednesday in preparation for his Friday duties at the Chinese Grand Prix. The site also claims that Ernesto Viso is confirmed for Brazil.

Unfortunately Autosport.com were not able to secure a quote from the team on the confirmation. The Frenchman finished third in the GP2 Championship this year, and alongside Ernesto Viso completes the team third driver lineup for the remainder of the season.

"This is a great opportunity to try an F1 car at MF1 Racing (Spyker)," Premat has been quoted as saying by Autosport. "I've been waiting for this day since I first started racing as a young boy.

"I've worked so hard for this opportunity and am determined to show my full potential at Shanghai and show I have earned it.

"I'm looking forward to helping the team develop the car both on the Friday at Shanghai, and during the test at Silverstone."
