Force India are yet to announce their second driver for 2013, but it looks like a straight shoot out between Adrian Sutil and Jules Bianchi.
Both drivers have been added to the teams Barcelona testing schedule, with Sutil driving the VJM06 on Thursday and Bianchi on Friday. It comes after the team revealed that the former Force India driver, who last raced for them in 2011, had visited for a seat fitting.
Paul Di Resta will test the car for the first two days, before handing the car over. The Scott has had a heavy work load, being the only confirmed driver. He had to launch the car alone, and do the majority of the testing at Jerez.
Barcelona will give the teams four more days of testing, taking the tally up to eight. Teams will then returned to the Spanish Circuit de Catalunya a week later to resume their testing programme.
All the 2013 seats are filled bar one, at Force India. The team look set to compare the two drivers in contention over the test and make their decision after that, leaving them with just enough time before the season starts.
It will obviously have an impact on whichever drivers start to the season, Bianchi has so far only tested the VJM06 once and Sutil is yet to try it out.
