Michael commented; "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."
