2013 hopeful Giedo van der Garde will be given another opportunity to impress the Caterham team during Friday morning's Practice One in India.
Van der Garde has made no secret of his wish to be promoted from the rank of third driver to a full race-seat in 2013, describing himself earlier this month as "physically and mentally ready" for the challenge. With Vitaly Petrov's position thought to be in jeopardy, and the out-of-contract Kovalainen yet to commit his future to Caterham, it is certainly feasible that a vacancy at the team could emerge for next season, although Van der Garde might well face competition for a seat from the likes of Charles Pic and Bruno Senna.
