Russian-licensed Marussia and Malaysian-owned Caterham will both present their new Formula One cars in the Jerez pit lane on Tuesday before the start of the first pre-season test.

Marussia, the former Virgin Racing team, said that British rookie Max Chilton would be the first to drive the MR02 car.

The British-based team have yet to name a second driver, although reports in Brazil suggested it would be well-sponsored Brazilian Luiz Razia, last year’s GP2 runner-up and a former tester for both Virgin and Caterham.

On Friday, Dutchman Giedo van der Garde stepped up from reserve to become one of Caterham F1’s main drivers this season.

Charles Pic had already been announced as the other main driver, meaning the sport’s only Russian driver Vitaly Petrov has lost his seat.

“I know I am ready to take the step up to F1 and all the work I have done throughout my career, and particularly in the last year with this team, has brought me to my ultimate goal,” Van der Garde said in a statement.

“Throughout 2012 I was able to fully integrate myself into the team, both through the FP1 sessions I ran at a number of tracks that were then new to me, and as reserve driver, fully em-bedded with the team throughout the season.

“Now I can continue to learn at the highest level of motorsport and show that I am ready for Formula One.

“I cannot wait to start work.”

Marussia and Caterham have competed in Formula One for the past three seasons without scoring a point and scrapped for 10th place last year, with Caterham securing it at the season-ending round in Brazil.

Marussia’s decision to run their new car in Jerez means every team other than Williams will have unveiled their challengers before the start of testing.

Williams plan to present theirs in Barcelona on February 19.
