Thursday for Force India announcement
Liuzzi for test driver

Jan.8 (GMM) Force India will announce its full driver lineup for the 2008 season on January 10, the Silverstone based team revealed on Tuesday.

After the newly acquired outfit was expected to make its decision about the occupants of the 2008 cars before Christmas, it is now highly likely that Adrian Sutil will share the team's garage throughout this year with the experienced Italian Giancarlo Fisichella.

Vitantonio Liuzzi will be named the team's official test driver, internet reports on Tuesday added, after established contenders including Christian Klien and Ralf Schumacher also tried out recently.

The Vijay Mallya-owned team, meanwhile, divulged that the "announcement of Force India drivers" will take place via a live webcast at 7pm (Indian time) on January 10.

Indian billionaire Mallya said: "For any of these drivers it would be a real opportunity.

"We may not be where we want to be now, but we will move forward at a rapid rate," he added.
