Toyota reveals Sarrazin deal

AS we exclusively predicted yesterday Stephane Sarrazin has been named Toyota's test driver for the coming season, alongside Australian Ryan Briscoe.

"It is not only a big step for me personally," said Sarrazin. "It is also a huge boost for my career, and I can't wait to get started."

Sarrazin is 27 years old and has been trying to break into F1 for the last three years after making his debut with Minardi in Brazil in 1998.
