Midland give Russian Roman Rusinov first Formula One test
The new Midland team will give Russia's Roman Rusinov his first Formula
One test next month in Jerez. Roman Rusinov, who has been driving for
Russia in the A1 Series, said he was hoping the test drive would be the
start of a long-term career in F1.
"It would not be an exaggeration to say that I have been waiting my entire career for this," said the 23-year-old.
Midland will become Formula One's first Russian team in 2006 after receiving their licence from authorities in Moscow.
"This test is the first but crucial step on my way to F1," added Roman Rusinov.
"At this point, my aim is to learn the peculiarities of a F1 car and familiarise myself with the way the team works.
"My arrival in F1 depends on numerous factors, but the most important
thing for me right now is to concentrate on driving the car quickly and
properly.
"I believe I have shown this ability throughout my career and I am positive that I will perform well this time."
Nicky Pastorelli has been named as Midland's official test driver for next year.
