Tatiana Calderon to take part in second test with Sauber

Sauber will give Colombian Tatiana Calderon her second Formula One test outing in a 2013 car at Ferrari's Fiorano circuit this weekend, the Swiss-based team said on Thursday.

The 25-year-old last month became the first Latin American woman to drive a Formula One car in an official capacity when she drove the 2018 car on a filming day at Mexico City's Hermanos Rodriguez circuit. Sauber said in a statement that Calderon would test the Ferrari-powered V8-engined C32 car on Saturday and Sunday "to advance in her learning process and development".

The Colombian is hoping to compete in Formula Two, the rung below Formula One, next year.
