Hehe, it's down here too now, but here's the full anouncement:

Quote:
Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium
Thursday 21 August 2014, 16.30hrs CET/15.30hrs GMT

We're providing Alexander Rossi with the opportunity to make his Grand Prix debut at this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix in Spa-Francorchamps.
Alexander will race alongside Jules Bianchi, substituting for Max Chilton while contractual issues are resolved.
Alexander joined the Team as Reserve Driver last month, the announcement coming at the Hungarian Grand Prix. He has taken part in a number of Friday morning Free Practice 1 sessions with his previous team but this weekend will see him ‘racing’ a Formula 1 car for the first time.

John Booth │ Team Principal

“Although it was not our intention to offer Alexander the possibility to race this season, in light of the circumstances we are pleased to be providing him with the opportunity to make his Grand Prix debut at this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix in Spa-Franchorchamps. Naturally we hope to resume normal service with respect to our established race driver line-up as soon as possible, but for now we wish Alexander well for the weekend ahead and we look forward to seeing him in action.”

Alexander Rossi │ Reserve Driver

“It goes without saying that I am thrilled to be given the opportunity to race in Formula 1 for the first time and I cannot thank the Marussia F1 Team for the faith they are demonstrating in me. It’s a very big moment for me and there’s a lot to prepare in a short space of time, but on the other hand I have felt ready for this for quite a while now. It is also exciting to be given this opportunity at such a fantastic and historical circuit as Spa-Francorchamps. I can’t wait to drive the MR03 from tomorrow and I hope to reward the team with a solid race weekend.”

Meanwhile, inside Max Chilton's ego:

On Max Chilton not racing this w/e - Graeme Lowdon says 'until contractual situation is resolved it's not appropriate for Max to drive'.

although they are not necessarily faster than todays machines, the cars 10 years ago looked much more difficult and heavy to drive

I hated that 2004/05 version of the Bus Stop.

While the Pre-2002 version was the better, more interesting & challenging corner at least the current configuration has worked better for racing/overtaking.

What they had in 2004/05 was not only a bit crap but it was no better for racing (Unless you were Montoya) than the original version.
