Test driver Fairuz Fauzy will get some track time at the wheel of the Lotus T127 this weekend in Bahrain.

"He will be testing," said team boss Tony Fernandes on Friday.

Malaysian Fauzy, 27, is the new Lotus team's test driver.

Race drivers Jarno Trulli and Heikki Kovalainen kicked off running at Sakhir on Friday morning. Kovalainen finished 18th and Trulli 19th in the first session. While the times were down on the charts, they were respectable given that they were ahead of the other new teams Virgin and HRT.

Added Fernandes: "He (Fauzy) will be taking the car in the free practice. He has done an absolutely superb job."

He said Fauzy will also drive in practice in Australia and Malaysia, the upcoming rounds of the world championship, and hinted that a race seat might be on the future's horizon.

"He is so determined and I think he would be a fantastic role model for all Malaysians. I hope we will be able to make his dream come true soon," said Fernandes.
