Renault said in a statement that the 23-year-old, testing as the winner of the 2007 World Series by Renault junior championship, completed 64 laps at the wheel of last year's R27 car.

"It was a fantastic day, with positive results in every sense," he said. "I hope I can use the experience to my advantage for the next stage of my career."
