“It is great to be behind the wheel of a Formula 1 car again so quickly after my debut earlier this month,” Calderon said.
“This next step will be even more special, as I will complete two full days of testing in the Sauber C32-Ferrari.
“It will be exciting to gain further experience and to learn more about these cars. I look forward to continuing to work, develop, and improve together with the team.”
Sauber team principal Frederic Vasseur added: “We are pleased to have Tatiana Calderon completing two days of testing at Fiorano. She impressed the team with her dedication, focus, and skills at a recent promotional event.
