Formula 2 driver Gustav Malja has been handed a test drive later this year at the Hungaroring, following the Hungarian Grand Prix. Th 21-year-old currently drives for Racing Engineering in Formula 2 and sits ninth in the driver standings.
Malja is over the moon with the opportunity, calling it a dream come true: “The prospect of driving a Formula 1 car is exceptionally thrilling, and a childhood dream come true. I can’t wait to experience that sensation; I’m sure it will be a very surreal moment. I will do everything in my power to make the most of the test day and learn as much as I possibly can. Wholehearted thanks to the Sauber F1 Team for giving me this fantastic opportunity.”
The test will be the first time in the Swede's career that he will drive a Formula 1 car, and team principal of Sauber Monisha Kaltenborn says that the team is happy to hand him this opportunity and fulfil his childhood dream.
“It will be a great opportunity for Gustav to make another step in his racing career and to fulfil his childhood dream," she said. "Driving a Formula 1 car for the first time is always a special moment for race drivers – and so it is for Gustav. We have followed him in previous years, especially last year in the GP2 Series where he consistently made progress.”
