Davide Valsecchi is visiting HRT’s German headquarters this week.
Last month, it was reported that the 23-year-old is a candidate to make his formula one debut with the Spanish team in 2011 if he can find enough funding.
Valsecchi, a race winner in GP2 this year, was the quickest of any of the young runners with F1’s three new teams at the Abu Dhabi test in November.
"Italy should support him," team boss Colin Kolles was quoted as saying.
Italiaracing magazine said Valsecchi’s strong pace in Abu Dhabi "surprised" Kolles and his management colleagues, who therefore invited him to Germany for a meeting.
