Force India confirmed Wednesday that Jolyon Palmer and Richard 'Spike' Goddard will test for the team in Abu Dhabi next week.
It will be the GP2 champion Palmer's first drive in an F1 car while Goddard received the opportunity after driving in F3 for two years.
Briton Palmer won four races ahead of the season finale to become the first British driver since Lewis Hamilton to win the title. The 23-year-old racer is the son of former F1 driver Jonathan.
Australian Goddard is a single-seater racer who won the rookie class of the British F3 Championship in his debut season in 2012.
