Bianchi will spend two days at the wheel of the F60 during the Spanish test before the car is handed over the Italian F3 trio Daniel Zampieri, Marco Zioli and Pablo Sanchez Lopez for the final day and he admitted it was hard to believe that the test was going to take place.

“I can’t find the right words,” he said ahead of a test which will make him the first French driver since Jean Alesi to run in a Ferrari car. “I think I will believe it when I sit in the
cockpit of the Ferrari.

“Ferrari, it’s the team I dreamt of when I was a kid. I will keep cool and I know it is just another step and that the road to success is very long if we want to fulfil the goals we have set ourselves together with my manager, Nicolas Todt. In 2010, once the regular season has started, my priority will be GP2 with ART Grand Prix.”

Alesi, now the captain of the French Federation of Motorsport’s French team, said he was delighted to see Bianchi get the chance to show what he can do in F1 machinery.

“Until now I was the last French driver who drive a Ferrari Formula One car and I’m delighted to pass the baton to Jules’ hand,” he said. “It’s a nice story between the Captain of the Equipe de France FFSA and one of its top members.
