Teenager to test Virgin F1 car

accreditation
Monza - Indonesian teenager Rio Haryanto will try out a Virgin Racing F1 car after the end of the season as a reward for his performances in the GP3 junior series, the team said at the Italian Grand Prix.

Virgin, one of three new F1 teams fighting at the back of the grid this year, had offered a prize to the driver who finished highest in the series in a car entered by their Manor Racing operation.

Haryanto, 17, dominated last year's Formula BMW Pacific Championship with 11 wins and won in Turkey this year in GP3. He finished third on Saturday in the first of two races at Monza.
