BMW Sauber have announced that former Honda tester Christian Klien has been contracted as their test and reserve driver for the 2008 season. Klien will work alongside 23 year-old Marko Asmer who will become the team's junior tester. The duo replace Timo Glock, who left BMW Sauber for a race drive with Toyota. ?We wanted a third driver with Formula One racing experience, as well as an up-and-coming young driver for us to train up to Formula One level,? explained BMWMotorsport Director Mario Theissen. ?With Christian we have signed on a driver who is familiar with the format of a Grand Prix weekend and can step into the breach right away should one of our team drivers have to back out.
