Celis gets two days of running in new Force India

The 19-year-old Mexican, who made his debut with the Silverstone-based team in last year's Pirelli tyre test in Abu Dhabi, will drive the new VJM09 on the first and final days of the test.

Racing drivers Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg will get just one of running in the new car, the Mexican driving on Tuesday and the German on Wednesday.

Hulkenberg will then kick off the second test the following week for the team, alternating driving duties with Perez.

Celis, who raced in GP3 and Formula Renault 3.5 last year, was signed as a Force India development driver in 2015.

He admitted last year that his goal was to land a Force India race seat in 2017.
