Lotus Renault has finally confirmed that Bruno Senna will replace Nick Heidfeld for the Belgian GP, but has declined to give any more details or explain how things have been resolved with the German driver.
A short statement tonight said: “Lotus Renault GP is pleased to announce that Bruno Senna will race alongside Vitaly Petrov at this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps.
“Bruno will attend the Official FIA Press Conference tomorrow at 15.00.
“A press release with further details on the matter will be issued tomorrow morning.”
Senna drove Heidfeld’s car on Friday morning in Hungary so has had a chance to get up to speed.

I think Nick is getting a raw deal. Senna has shown none of the prowess that his name suggests. But that’s F1.
Cliff you’re forgetting that given a slightly longer development time Senna would have had Barrichellos seat at Brawn GP as he was highly regarded by Ross Brawn. Give the guy a chance, Heidfeld has had his.
Bruno’s sponsors must be paying off a few Renault bills for this. I don’t think he has the talent to justify a drive and this will be a hard circuit to fill in at.
