GP3 driver Antonio Fuoco will test for Ferrari alongside Esteban Gutierrez at the post-race test in Austria.

On the Tuesday and Wednesday after the Austrian Grand Prix, the Red Bull Ring will host the second of F1's two in-season tests, which give opportunities to young drivers like Fuoco to test F1 cars. Fouco is seventh in the GP3 standings after one round and is also a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy.

"Antonio Fuoco will drive an SF15-T for the first time at the test session which takes place on the Spielberg circuit in the week following the Austrian Grand Prix," a Ferrari statement said. "The 19 year old from Calabria in Italy, is a Ferrari Driver Academy student and this will also be his very first outing in an official Formula One test. He is due to drive on the first of the two days, Tuesday 23 June, before vacating the cockpit to make way for Esteban Gutierrez."

Gutierrez is Ferrari's third driver and also tested the car at the in-season test in Barcelona.
