MONTMELO, Spain (AP) Formula One team Sauber has named Tatiana Calderon of Colombia as a development driver.

The 23-year-old Calderon started racing karts when she was 9 and competed in the GP3 series last season. Sauber says she will continue to compete in GP3 in addition to acting as a development driver for the F1 team.

Team principal Monisha Kaltenborn says ''we have the opportunities and facilities to provide Tatiana a professional platform on which she can further develop her knowledge and skills in racing.''

Sauber's race drivers this season are Marcus Ericsson and Pascal Wehrlein.
