De la Rosa to test for Force India

De la Rosa to test for Force India

McLaren tester Pedro de la Rosa is to drive for the Force India Formula One team today and tomorrow at the Barcelona circuit.

The Spaniard, who on Monday worked for his own team, confirmed on his website that he will switch to Force India for the remaining two days of the test.

Force India announced last week a technical partnership with McLaren and Mercedes for 2009, although the British squad said they would not impose drivers on the Silverstone-based outfit.

Force India boss Vijay Mallya said before the McLaren deal was announced that both Giancarlo Fisichella and Adrian Sutil would stay on at the team in 2009.

Spanish media said on Tuesday that de la Rosa has already signed a deal to race for Force India in 2009, but a McLaren spokesman told autosport.com that the deal was just for the two-day test.
