GP3 racer Tatiana Calderon has completed a two-day test in the 2013 Sauber as part of her driver development role with the Swiss team.
The Colombian had her first outing with Sauber in Mexico last month, driving the current car in a promotional event following the Grand Prix in Mexico City.
However, this past weekend saw the 25-year-old gain her first major on-track experience, completing just shy of 600km as she ran a wide-ranging program including qualifying and race simulations on Sunday.
“It was a really great first experience driving in Fiorano,” Calderon said on Saturday.
“The track is interesting, and the atmosphere is special. The air and track temperatures were quite low today, but consistent.
“Our target was for me to learn the track and find a good balance for the car, which we achieved.”
24 hours later, her evaluation of the weekend was very positive.
“Overall, the past two days have been very beneficial to my development and I have gained valuable experience,” she added.
“The team did a great job in the preparation as well as the implementation of my programme and I felt comfortable in the car as well as on the track.
“I look forward to putting what I have learned to practice.”
