Colton Herta is to make his second FP1 outing with Cadillac at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
The American made his F1 weekend debut by driving for the team in FP1 at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, taking over Sergio Perez's car.
On Friday at the Hungaroring, Herta is set to take over the MAC-26 of Valtteri Bottas for his second FP1 outing of the season as Cadillac looks to continue its recent strong momentum and try to score its first point in F1.
Both Bottas and Perez are still required to miss one more FP1 session each in the second-half of the season, with Herta likely to get both.
"It’s very exciting to get another chance in FP1," said Herta, who will also dovetail his F1 duties with his F2 campaign.
"It’s a good opportunity for my personal experience, but the ultimate goal is, of course, to help the team with its development.
"It’s been six weeks since I was last in the car, and there’s been a lot of evolution in that time.
"My job is to help the race drivers have the best possible Hungarian Grand Prix – but also provide the feedback that will aid the team in its long-term development aims and give me a better baseline in future sessions."
