"Thank you very much to HWA RACELAB for giving me this unique opportunity to test a Formula E car at Diriyah, for which I am very grateful.

"In the coming weeks, I will be fully focused on preparing the test as much as possible, and December 16th will not be fast enough."
Schreiner is about to share the two HWA cars with pilots Stoffel Vandoorne and Gary Paffett.

"This weekend is a first for Carrie and for us as a team and we can not wait to get started."
"Nevertheless, we are of course thinking of Sophia, for whom we would also like to have made this test possible.
"However, the important thing is that she focuses on her quick recovery, we wish her all the best and heal us quickly."
