Daniel Juncadella will make his Formula 1 free practice debut with Force India at the British Grand Prix.
The Mercedes DTM racer and Force India reserve will take over Nico Hulkenberg's car for the first free practice session at Silverstone on Friday morning.
The 23-year-old Spaniard has previously driven for the Silverstone-based squad in pre-season testing and May's post-Spanish GP test at Barcelona, as well as conducting simulator duties.
"I've been waiting for this moment for a very long time and it goes to show that hard work and determination can get you there," Juncadella said.
"Since the start of the year back in Jerez, where I got my first chance to drive the car, I've been working very hard with the team and I've definitely learned a lot.
"My second outing in Barcelona, and all the hours we've spent together on the simulator, have given me plenty of confidence.
"This is also the team's local race, which makes a day I will never forget even more special."
