Sauber's Tatiana Calderon handed first F1 test

MEXICO CITY -- Sauber's Tatiana Calderon will get her first test of a Formula One car during a filming day at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez next week.

Calderon, 25, has been Sauber's test driver for the past two seasons but has not yet competed in an F1 test or practice session. This season she has been competing in GP3, the series below Formula Two on the motorsport pyramid.

The Colombian will be allowed up to 100km of running -- the equivalent of around 24 laps of the circuit -- as per F1's regulations around filming days, with each team allowed to per season.
