Stevens to drive for Caterham at Abu Dhabi test
Caterham has confirmed Will Stevens will drive for the team on both days of the post-season F1 test in Abu Dhabi this week.
Stevens finished 17th on his F1 debut for Caterham at Abu Dhabi on the team's return to the grid for the first time since entering administration. The team's long-term future remains in doubt as administrators seek new owners but Stevens is pleased to have the chance to accumulate more mileage in an F1 car.
Stevens said: " I am very pleased to have the opportunity to spend more time in the car this week after completing my first Formula One race yesterday here in Abu Dhabi. I'm keen to get as much mileage as possible under my belt in order to further my chance of securing a drive for next season."
Caterham's joint administrator Finbarr O'Connell, who took the role of team principal in Abu Dhabi, says the team's appearance at the test is crucial in its efforts to remain on the grid in 2015.
"We have shown the world we are still a functioning F1 team," O'Connell said. "We were delighted to have Will and Kamui [Kobayashi] driving for us. The F1 community have been so supportive of us both at the track and in the media. My discussions with potential purchasers are continuing and showcasing CaterhamF1 at Abu Dhabi has shown prospective purchasers the spirit and commitment of our race team which is the 'human engine' of the team."
