Aitken, who meanwhile has a Formula 1 start for Williams at the Sakhir Grand Prix 2020, is in the IndyCar test after a GT racing accident in August in which he has a broken collarbone and compression fracture.
The British-Korean driver will also drive in FP1 for Williams at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix four days after his Sebring test.
Meyer Shank Racing and Arrow McLaren SP will also take part in the test day at Sebring, the latter now majority-owned by McLaren Racing following a recent deal.
Mercedes Formula E drivers Stoffel Vandoorne and Nyck de Vries will have the honor of driving on the Sebring track, with former McLaren F1 driver Vandoorne Arrow representing McLaren SP while De Vries represents Meyer Shank Racing.
De Vries has been linked with a move to Formula 1 for the 2022 campaign when openings appeared at Williams and Alfa Romeo.
Ultimately, Williams selected Alex Albon to partner with Nicholas Latifi for 2022, while Alfa Romeo’s brand new line-up will consist of Valtteri Bottas and Guanyu Zhou.
