Force India junior Alfonso Celis Jr will become the Silverstone-based outfit's third pink panther this season as the young Mexican has handed two FP1 outings in Austria and Hungary.

The 20-year-old, who last ran with Force India at F1's two-day in-season test at Bahrain in April, will replace Sergio Perez next week at Spielberg while Esteban Ocon will sit on the sidelines at the Hungaroring.

Celis is racing this year in the Formula V8 3.5 series with Fortec Motorsports and has one win under his belt so far.

The young charger enjoyed a double-podium finish at Aragon last weekend, putting him in the fight for the title.
