Adrian Sutil has undergone a seat fitting with Force India this week, hinting the German may soon be confirmed as their second driver.
Sutil, who previously drove for the team before being dropped in favour of Nico Hulkenberg, is a prime candidate to partner Paul di Resta. Jules Bianchi also remains in the running.
The seat fitting is likely in anticipation of Sutil’s expected test run in the VJM06 at the Barcelona pre-season test next week. The team are using the time to evaluate drivers for the second seat following Bianchi’s outing in Jerez.
An official announcement is expected before the third and final test which takes place at the end of February and early March.
