He tested the car for the first time on 14 September, driving the distance necessary for an FIA Super Licence.
[1] After acting as Third Driver for the last three Grands Prix of 2006, Ammermüller was signed by Red Bull as a full-time tester for 2007.
[2] Ammermüller's 2007 GP2 Series season was disrupted by injury, and he was rested in favour of Sébastien Buemi.
However, Sebastian Vettel's move to the Scuderia Toro Rosso F1 team left his Formula Renault 3.5 Series seat vacant, which Ammermüller took.
Despite this, he made contact at turn two once again with Czech Republic's Erik Janis, and as a result, was disqualified from the race.
