HRT to field Charouz on Friday in Sao Paulo

Czech driver Jan Charouz will be in action for HRT this weekend in Brazil. Charouz, who drove for the Spanish team and Renault at last week’s young-driver test in Abu Dhabi, will take to the track in Vitantonio Liuzzi’s F111 for Friday’s opening practice session.

“It’s a great feeling to be taking part in a Formula One free practice session,” he said. “I will be driving for HRT F1 Team once again after testing with them last Wednesday in Abu Dhabi and obtaining my superlicence which allows me to take part in the first practice session at the Brazilian Grand Prix. I am really happy to have this opportunity and would like to thank my father for his great support.
