Renault call up Baguette, di Grassi and Tung

Saturday 28th November 2009

Renault have announced that Bertrand Baguette, Lucas di Grassi and Ho-Pin Tung will all take part in next week's young driver test.

The test, which runs from December 1st to 3rd, will see drivers who have competed in two or less grands prix try their hand at Formula One, while for many it will be a first taste of the sport.

Baguette has been handed the test as part of his prize for winning the World Series by Renault 3.5 title while Chinese driver Tung previously tested for Williams.

The test, though, could be vital to di Grassi's F1 prospects as the the Renault reserve driver could yet book a place on the 2010 grid should he excel.

"Testing is so restricted nowadays, but this young driver test is the perfect opportunity for us to assess rising stars such as Bertrand, Ho-Pin and Lucas," said team boss Bob Bell.

"All these drivers have shown great promise and we look forward to seeing what they are capable of as we complete our test programme for the year."
