Status GP3 team to test Seb Morris in Abu Dhabi

Frontrunning GP3 team Status Grand Prix will test Formula Renault NEC race winner Seb Morris at Yas Marina next month

The 18-year-old Briton, who finished third in the FR2.0 series this year with Fortec Motorsports, will drive with the team for all three days of the test following the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend.

"Now that my 2014 race season is over, our focus has immediately turned to on and off track preparations for 2015 and we are delighted to be going to Abu Dhabi with Status," said Morris.

"The challenge of learning to drive the more complex and powerful GP3 car is one I am relishing and I aim to make a good impression."

Team boss Teddy Yip Jr added: "We welcome Seb on board for the test and greatly look forward to working with him.

"Status has been keeping a close eye on his progress this year and, alongside his wins, his three pole positions have clearly demonstrated real speed.

"Over the three test days he will have the chance to learn GP3's Pirelli tyre, the car and the track, and then really go about setting some impressive times."

The GP3 cars will share the test with the GP2 teams, with each series running in alternate sessions across the three days.

Morris will also get a test in a Formula Renault 3.5 car this winter as his prize for finishing in the top three of the FR NEC standings.
