It marks Celis' fourth practice outing of the season, the Mexican having made appearances in Bahrain, Russia and most recently Austria so far in 2016.

He also drove the Force India VJM09 during pre-season running at Barcelona, before getting further mileage under his belt during in-season testing at the Spanish venue.

Celis currently sits 11th in the Formula V8 3.5 standings, having taken a sole podium finish this season at Spa.
