Sauber will test with Robin Frijns, Nico Hulkenberg and Kimiya Sato at the Young Driver Test at Silverstone next week.
During the three days the team will test the latest Pirelli tyres, as well as the upgrade package the C32 will have for the upcoming Hungarian GP.
Robin Frijns (right) became test and reserve driver for the team earlier this year, and it will be the second Young Driver Training Test for the 22-year-old Dutchman with the team. The 2012 Formula Renault 3.5 World Series champion is competing in the 2013 GP2 Series, where he is currently lying ninth. He will be on track on Wednesday for the whole day, as well as on Thursday morning, while Hulkenberg will get behind the wheel on Thursday afternoon.
Kimiya Sato will get into the Sauber C32 and drive a Formula One car for the very first time on Friday. The 24-year-old Japanese brings experience from series like Formula BMW, Japanese and German Formula 3, as well as the Formula 3 Euro Series, and currently leads the 2013 Auto GP series.
