Pietro Fittipaldi, the grandson of two-time world champion Emerson Fittipaldi, will join the Haas F1 team as a test driver next year and make his F1 debut at this year's end-of-season test in Abu Dhabi.
Fittipaldi, 22, has raced in IndyCar and Japanese Super Formula this year and was due to take part in the World Endurance Championship before crashing in qualifying at Spa-Francorchamps and fracturing both his legs.
In his new role with Haas he will support race drivers Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen, kicking off his duties in this year's Haas VF-18 at Pirelli's end-of-season tyre test in Abu Dhabi on November 27.
