Fauzy to get more Friday outings

The Lotus team has confirmed that Fairuz Fauzy will be driving in Friday practice for the team in four more races in 2010

The Malaysian had only driven in first practice for his home race back in April, but will get outings at the British, Hungarian, Singapore and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix.

"First I want to thank Tony [Fernandes], Mike [Gascoyne] and the whole team for the chance to get back in the car," Fauzy said.

"I really can't wait to see how far we've moved forward since I was last out on track, and I'm very proud to have been given the chance to play another active role in our continuing development.

"I did the shakedown of chassis 04 at Snetterton a couple of weeks ago, but obviously couldn't really push there, so it'll be great to get back out and add whatever I can to help the team keep moving towards the midfield."

Technical chief Mike Gascoyne believes Fauzy's contribution will be very good for the team.

"Every time Fairuz has been out on track for us he's done a great job, and taking part in four more races is a just reward for the contribution he's already made to the establishment and growth of our team," he said.

"It's another chance for us to learn more about how to get the most out of him in the car, as well as providing us with another invaluable viewpoint on the characteristics of our car."
