CHINESE driver Ma Qinghua will test for HRT at Silverstone in July, the Spanish-based Formula One team announced.
Ma was announced in April as a member of the team's young driver development program and principal Luis Perez-Sala said yesterday the 24-year-old was ready for the next step.
"Over the last few weeks we've been working with Ma, as a part of our scheduled development program, at the Valencia and Jerez circuits with different cars and we consider that he is ready to take part in the young driver test," he said in a statement. "He's very professional, with a positive attitude, he has a feel for the car and, what's most important, he's quick. We've got faith in his quality and are confident that he will do a good job in Silverstone."
Ma will be the first Chinese to take part in a young driver test although Dutch-born Ho-Pin Tung tested with Williams in 2003 and was also a Renault reserve in 2010.
"I hope not to be the last one and for many to follow in my footsteps," Ma said in a statement. "I hope that with the backing of all my compatriots, both in China and elsewhere, the commitment and link between my nation and the pinnacle of motorsport grows stronger every day."
