Formula 2 race-winner Nicholas Latifi has been named as Force India's reserve and test driver for the 2018 Formula One season.
The 22-year-old Canadian, who finished fifth in last season's F2 championship with DAMS, will take part in young driver test sessions and will also participate in "a number" of yet-to-be-disclosed Friday practice sessions across the 2018 campaign.
"Nicholas joins us off the back of a strong season in F2 and strengthens our driver development programme," Force India team boss Vijay Mallya said. "He will support our simulator programme and work with the team during a number of Friday practice sessions next year.
