Gelael to test with STR

Indonesian driver Sean Gelael will take part in three Formula One tests with Red Bull- owned Scuderia Toro Rosso ( STR) this year, the Italy- based team said Wednesday.

Gelael, 20, will be at the first in- season test in Bahrain in April in Hungary just before the August break and in Abu Dhabi after the championship ends in November.

Toro Rosso, preparing for Sunday’s season- opener in Melbourne, published the details on Twitter along with a photograph of the driver having a seat fitting at the Faenza factory. Gelael, who hopes to follow in the footsteps of Indonesia’s first F1 driver Rio Haryanto, will be competing in Formula Two this year after making his debut in 2016.
