Kovalainen to drive Caterham in Bahrain, Barcelona practice

Apr.17 (GMM) Former team racer Heikki Kovalainen has rejoined Caterham's F1 driver lineup.

The team announced on Wednesday that the Finn, who raced for the Tony Fernandes-owned outfit since its inception in 2010 until last year, will return to the cockpit this weekend in Bahrain.

Caterham said the highly rated 31-year-old, who has been keeping fit since being replaced by 2013 lineup Charles Pic and Giedo van der Garde, is the team's new reserve driver alongside Carlifornian Alexander Rossi.

He will also drive in the first Friday practice sessions at the forthcoming Bahrain and Spanish grands prix.
