Kanaan finished fifth in last year's championship, which was overshadowed by the death of British driver Dan Wheldon in the final race of the season in Las Vegas.

'I am thrilled, it is something very new to me,' said Barrichello, whose move to IndyCar was in the offing after he having to trial test sessions recently.

'Despite all my experience I will start as a rookie, but I think I will get better as the year progresses,' he added.

Barrichello has set the record for F1 starts in a career spanning 1993-2011, claiming 11 victories and finishing runner-up in the drivers' championship in 2002 and 2004 to Ferrari teammate Michael Schumacher.

Last season he drove for Williams, but lost his place for 2012 to fellow Brazilian Bruno Senna, the nephew of F1 legend Ayrton Senna.

Barrichello is a long-time friend of his 37-year-old compatriot Kanaan, who is delighted he has decided to compete in IndyCar.

'I have a guy who has 19 years of experience in Formula One; one of the best drivers I've ever seen as a teammate that I can learn a lot and he can learn a lot from me racing on the ovals.

'For the series it's huge. We're getting a guy who has the most grand prix races completed in history.'

Testing for the new season will take play at the Sebring International Raceway next week ahead of a 16-race campaign, including five on oval tracks.
