GP2 champion Jolyon Palmer will get his first run in a Lotus Formula 1 car at this week's Barcelona test.

The Briton, who is scheduled to take part in several Friday practice sessions at grands prix this year, will drive the E23 on the second day of the test on Friday.

Palmer is not the only test driver getting an outing at Barcelona, with Williams confirming that Susie Wolff will drive its new FW37 on the opening day of the test on Thursday.

Due to her presence, team-mates Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa will get one full day each before sharing driving duties on the final day.
