Official: Chilton will finally be on the starting grid for the Belgian Grand Prix!
While Alexander Rossi was supposed to replace the British driver for the race at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit, it will ultimately not happen as Marussia F1 has requested to reinstate Max Chilton for the Grand Prix. The FIA has accepted.
New development at Marussia: a few hours after announcing that Alexander Rossi would make his debut at the wheel of an F1 during the Belgian Grand Prix, Marussia has ultimately reversed their decision by putting Max Chilton back in the seat of the MR03.
The contractual issues, particularly concerning the payment of a sum of money by one of the Briton’s sponsors, which were apparently the true reason for his withdrawal, have been resolved, according to Autosport.
