Di Grassi handed Pirelli role

Lucas di Grassi has been named as the latest test driver for tyre manufacturer Pirelli.

The Brazilian will take part in five test sessions this year in Toyota's 2009 car as the Italian company continue their ongoing development programme after returning to Formula One at the start of the season.
Di Grassi, who last year drove for Virgin Racing, said: "Pirelli has done a fantastic job so far in a very short space of time.
"I'm looking forward to helping to make their tyres even better in the future, not just for the drivers and teams, but the spectators as well.
