Renault has confirmed that its reserve driver Romain Grosjean will replace Nelson Piquet Jr in the second seat at the team for the remainder of the 2009 season.
"We are happy to give Romain the chance to start racing with the team,
He is an impressive young talent and we expect him to show his skills driving alongside Fernando as we take an aggressive approach to the second half of the season. We would also like to thank Nelson for his contribution during the time he has been with us and wish him all the best for the future," Briatore said in a statement.
"I am very proud that the Renault F1 Team has given me the chance to become a race driver, I'm looking forward to driving the R29 and helping the team get the best results possible. It's also an honour to be Fernando's team-mate and to make my Formula 1 debut alongside a double world champion is especially motivating," Grosjean said.
