Spanish newspaper Marca reported Wednesday that Spaniard Adrian Valles has signed to drive for the US F1 team this season.

Valles, 23, won the Superleague Formula championship last year with Team Liverpool. Like Argentina's Jose Maria Lopez, who was confirmed last month as the first race driver for the Charlotte-based start-up Formula 1 team owned by Peter Windsor and Ken Anderson, he has some experience of F1, having tested for Spyker back in 2007.
