“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.
