Six months after he was dropped by Toro Rosso ahead of the 2012 season, Jaime Alguersuari was picked up by Pirelli to drive Robert Kubica's 2010-spec Renault R30.
Alguersuari will be behind the wheel of Pirelli's "new" test car through the next development phase of the different tire compounds. So far this season, the Italian tires have had a great deal of influence on the racing, for better and for worst.
Four grands prix have crowned four different winners: tire managing is as crucial as ever in 2012. Some like it, some don't.
"No one can imagine my enthusiasm in this very moment. I'm just counting down the minutes to be behind the wheel of the most sophisticated machinery of the world. I could never imagine that I was going to miss so much the taste of Formula One," said Alguersuari about his comeback gig.
While testing for Pirelli, the 22-year-old Spaniard will keep his role with BBC Radio.
"Alongside this role I will keep my post with BBC Radio. I am really grateful to them for giving me the opportunity of joining such a professional team.
"I'm a happy man," he added.
