Charles Pic and Daniel Juncadella will both drive during the first practice session of this weekend's Formula 1 Gran Premio d'Italia 2014, for Lotus and Force India respectively.
Juncadella, Force India's reserve driver and a regular for Mercedes in Germany's DTM series, will contest the opening 30 minutes of FP1 in a VJM07 before handing the car back to Sergio Perez for the rest of the weekend.
The Spaniard previously stood in for Nico Hulkenberg in FP1 at Silverstone earlier this season.
