Force India has confirmed that Alfonso Celis jnr, who currently races in the Formula v8 3.5 championship and is the prodigy of former F1 driver and current WTCC championship leader, Tiago Monteiro, will return to driving duties for the team in the next round in Austria and again in Hungary.

Next weekend's event, to be held at the Red Bull Ring in Austria, will be Alfonso's first time back behind the wheel of the VJM10 since the Bahrain testing session.

He will take part in the first practice session on both race weekends, taking over from Sergio Perez in Austria and Esteban Ocon in Hungary.

Alfonso is standing in P3 in the Formula v8 3.5 Championship. In the latest round in Aragon, he claimed a double podium to close to within 16 points of the leader.
