“This will be the first time I've raced on the GP circuit, so it will be important to learn the additional parts of the track quickly.

“I'm very proud to have been given the role of reserve and third driver for Red Bull and Toro Rosso, but this weekend I will be focusing on World Series and doing a good job at Silverstone. “

Team principal Trevor Carlin has high expectations: “Silverstone is always a special event for us and after winning here last year, we are more determined than ever to win again,” he summed-up.

“Oliver and Jaime are incredibly closely matched and it is their equal talent and extreme competitiveness that helps push the team forward. I believe we head to Silverstone with one of the strongest World Series team's we've ever had, so I'll be expecting to see both drivers on the podium this weekend.”
