the death of Dieter Aeschelman at the Spanish Grand Prix on the Circuit de Catalunya prompted his replacement by Fernando Alonso. Paul di Resta would've replaced him, but was still injured from a nasty accidental last year. He would, instead, replace the Ferrari test driver when he recovers, which ended up being for the German Grand Prix.
