The team said Rossi, who joined Marussia last month as a reserve driver, would substitute for Chilton "while contractual issues are resolved."
Rossi joined Marussia from Caterham, where he was a reserve driver and sometime Friday tester before new owners took over the team before the British Grand Prix. The 22-year-old will be the first American to race in F1 since Scott Speed's final appearance for Toro Rosso in the 2007 European Grand Prix.
While Max Chilton's released a statement through his management saying that says he relinquished his Marussia Formula 1 race seat to Alexander Rossi for the Belgian Grand Prix voluntarily due to financial issues on the team's side.
Big question marks for both parties what I hearing on TV and Internet on what side you believe the driver or the team. Gutted for Max Chilton for not driving at Spa this weekend, lost his drive just before the weekend started isn't great. And just like André Lotterer from yesterday, good luck for Alexander Rossi for this weekend at Marussia.
End of post for now, new post soon, bye.
