Romain Grosjean is to drive a Mercedes on a one-off return to Formula 1 following his fiery accident at last year's Bahrain Grand Prix.
Grosjean will do a demonstration run in Lewis Hamilton's 2020 W10 at the French Grand Prix on 27 June, and a test at the same track two days later.
The Frenchman said getting back in an F1 car was "a special opportunity".
The move honours a pledge made by team boss Toto Wolff as it became clear the crash would end Grosjean's F1 career.
"I didn't want to finish on that crash," Grosjean told BBC Breakfast.
Nice to see . That crash was one of the most horrific things I've seen in over 20 years of watching Formula One - and it would've been a very sour note on which to end his F1 career.
(Although, if he's quick in this test, should Bottas be worried ?)
