Premat enjoys F1 debut

GP2 and A1GP driver Alexandre Premat had his first outing in a Formula 1 car on Wednesday. The Frenchman will make his Grand Prix debut next week as Spyker MF1's third driver in the free practice sessions on Friday.

After the test Premat said: "It was really exciting to drive a Formula 1 car for the first time. I think we did a good job today by covering 82 laps."

"I would like to thank the MF1 Racing team and engineers for their support, as I certainly came away from today's test with a good feeling. I am really looking forward to getting back into the car in Shanghai."
