Colin Kolles (Team Principal) said: "I am very happy to have Quintarelli driving for the team this week. I keep a close eye on the Japanese Formula Nippon Series as it has a good crop of emerging talent and I hope that Ronnie has a successful test with the team.
Ronnie Quintarelli said: "I am very happy to have the opportunity to drive an F1 car as this is an excellent step for my career. I have had some successful seasons in Japan and this is a great way to take a step forward. I would like to thank Dr Kolles and the team for the opportunity to test and the Inging Motorsport team in Japan for their support."
