Takuma Sato has been recalled for a third Toro Rosso test, his management confirmed on Thursday morning. Having already tested for Toro Rosso in September and October of this year, the Japanese driver will take to the cockpit of the STR3 for two days at the upcoming Jerez test, reigniting his chances for a role within the team next season.
"We obviously see this as a positive step but still nothing is decided for the 2009 racing season," said a short statement.
Teams will test in Jerez from Tuesday 9 December, to Thursday, with Sato due to take to the cockpit on Wednesday and Thursday. Sato is one of five drivers who are reportedly in the frame for a race seat at the team in 2009, with Sébastien Buemi and Sébastien Bourdais being two other strong candidates.
