Hong Kong's Fong to test with Sauber

ABU DHABI (Reuters) - Hong Kong racer Adderley Fong will test with Sauber in Abu Dhabi next week after Formula One's season-ending race at the Yas Marina circuit, the Swiss-based team said on Friday. Fong will aim to complete 300 kilometres to qualify for the extension of his super licence, the team said in a statement. The 25-year-old, whose ambition is to become China's first Formula One racing driver, tested for Sauber in Valencia and Abu Dhabi last year but has been a development driver for Mercedes-powered Lotus this season. Lotus's future remains uncertain, with that financially-struggling team hoping to be taken over by former owners Renault. (Reporting by Alan Baldwin, editing by Patrick Johnston)
