Albers to test for Ferrari

(GMM) Spyker's 2007 race driver Christijan Albers could next year test for Ferrari, it has emerged.

Written into the Silverstone based team's new formula one engine contract with Ferrari, negotiated by Michiel Mol and Jean Todt, is a clause allowing Spyker drivers to test for the Italian squad.

Albers' manager Lodewijk Varossieau confirmed the story.

''Perhaps this is the only way that I can demonstrate how fast I really am,'' 27-year-old Dutchman Albers was quoted as saying by Formule 1 RaceReport magazine.

He added: ''I hope I can run at the same time as (Felipe) Massa so I can show that I have exactly the same speed.''
