ADSS, a large brokerage firm in Europe and the Middle East, announced on Monday that Louis Delétraz, the Swiss racing driver which the firm sponsors, will have his debut in a Formula One car.
Formula one is the highest class of single-seater auto racing. Delétraz currently races in Formula two, but following the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix testing session, on November 28, 2018, he will test the current-spec Haas VF-18.
This will take place on the second day of the three-day session, which will be run by Pirelli, a tire supplier. In his racing career, Delétraz has been a winner Formula Renault 2.0's Northern European Cup and has also been a runner-up in the two-liter Eurocup series and the Renault 3.5 liter series.

Commenting on the opportunity, Delétraz said: “I’m naturally very excited to make my Formula One debut testing in Abu Dhabi and I am grateful to both Gene Haas and Guenther Steiner for giving me the opportunity to test with Haas F1 Team.”
ADSS has already been sponsoring Delétraz for a number of years, originally teaming up with him when he was still karting, up until now as an F2 driver on the Charouz Racing System team. Already he has shown a lot of promise in the industry and is looking to finish up the year at the Yas Marina circuit, in Abu Dhabi on solid footing.
