Tonio Liuzzi is set to test for HRT at Barcelona over the weekend, according to reports on Autosport.
HRT is the only team not to have named both its drivers for the coming season. It signed Narain Karthikeyan last month, largely because of the substantial sponsorship he brought with him, but its attempts to find a heavily-backed team-mate have proved unsuccessful.
Despite being contracted to drive for Force India in 2011, Liuzzi was replaced by Paul di Resta and is therefore available. He was tentatively linked with the vacancy at Renault caused by Robert Kubica's accident, but with Nick Heidfeld taking that slot, Liuzzi is again up for hire.
Liuzzi would bring much-needed experience to the HRT team. Although Karthikeyan has driven in Formula One before, it was six years ago and was hardly an outstanding success.
