Adderly Fong will test the Sauber during the Pirelli tyre test on 1st December following the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend.
The 25-year-old Chinese driver will be behind the wheel of the C34 with the objective of completing 300 kilometres on the Yas Marina Circuit to qualify for the extension of his super licence. After that, Marcus Ericsson will take over the car.
Fong has already driven a Sauber C31 during a one day test in Valencia in October 2014, as well as the C33 in FP1 during the 2014 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
"I am very pleased and thankful to have another opportunity to drive for Sauber," said Fong. "I will do my best to give valuable feedback. I am looking forward to it, as well as the aim of extending my superlicence after completing 300 kilometres. Last year it was great to have the chance to drive the Sauber C33-Ferrari during FP1 here at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Now I am curious about testing the current car."
"We are pleased to have Adderly in the car again and to give him the opportunity to drive a current Formula One car," added Monisha Kaltenborn. "He immediately put in a solid performance in his last opportunities for us. We are confident Adderly will again put in every effort in this tyre test."
