Mar.5 (GMM) Spanish GP2 driver Borja Garcia is reportedly on the verge of being named as Williams' secondary test driver for 2008.
With former second tester Narain Karthikeyan now departed, 25-year-old Garcia is in the final stages of negotiations for the role, the Spanish newspaper Diario AS said.The newspaper said the appointment is backed by the Valencia government, but AS played down recent reports that Williams is looking to relocate its test team to the region."There have only been talks about seeking somewhere for storage, for logistical reasons," Williams' chief operations engineer Rod Nelson is quoted as saying.AS also raised the possibility that, with Christian Klien and Marko Asmer signed as BMW Sauber's test drivers for 2008, Spaniard Javier Villa has signed an option that could lead to his appointment at the German team in 2009.
