Red Bull give Ammermuller a chance
Michael Ammermüller will get to drive for Red Bull Racing in both the Chinese and Japanese GP's.
Michael knocked up enough miles at recent test's to gain his Super Licence so can now take the place of Robert Doornbos in the next races.
Ammermüller said: "This is a fantastic opportunity for me. Formula One is the ultimate for every racing driver and to have the chance to work as a test driver for Red Bull Racing is very exciting. Working with the team at the test in Jerez it was obvious it has big ambitions, which is very motivating. I'm now completely focused on my task ahead. I'll be looking to learn as much as possible and I'm in the right place and with the right team to be able to do that."
Good luck to Michael, we wish him good luck.
