Williams will run an FW32 in Venezuela next Friday (January 14) to mark Pastor Maldonado's recruitment as one of its drivers this season.
The demonstration will be held outside Caracas around one of the country's most renowned national monuments, Los Proceres, in front of an anticipated capacity crowd. President Chavez is also expected to attend.
Looking ahead to the demonstration run, Maldonado said: "I'm so happy the team are coming to Venezuela. To be given the opportunity of driving a Formula One car in front of my fellow countrymen is going to be something very special. We will definitely put on a good show for everyone who attends. Now that I am a confirmed race driver for Williams, this feels like giving something back to the people who have supported my career and put their faith in me over the years."
"Away from the race track, we have demonstrated our cars in many prestigious locations around the world," added Frank Williams. "It is always a pleasure to do so, and a privilege to share with the public the sheer power of a Formula One car. We are therefore delighted that Pastor has invited us to Venezuela, and for him to be driving our car in his home country.
