Approval of New Zealand driver Brendon Hartley's application for a Super Licence enabling him to drive in Formula 1 events has been granted by the FIA.
Hartley (19) will begin duties as a Formula One reserve driver at the Spanish Grand Prix from May 8-10, the Red Bull team announced today.
He will back up regular Red Bull drivers Sebastien Vettel and Mark Webber, the team said.
Hartley, who successfully completed over 300km in testing with Red Bull in December, was finally granted his superlicence at an International Automobile Federation meeting on Wednesday.
Red Bull, for whom Vettel won the Chinese Grand Prix last month, are currently second in the manufacturers' standings on 27.5 points behind front runners Brawn GP.
Hartley is currently in Belgium preparing for the second round of the Renault World series at Spa-Francorchamps and could not be contacted immediately for comment.
