Sakon Yamamoto has been given the nod by HRT to race at the Belgian Grand Prix alongside Bruno Senna, the team confirmed on Friday.
The decision means another spell on the sidelines for Karun Chandhok, who harboured hopes of returning to racing duties with the team in Spa.
"I am looking forward to be back in action after the break. In 2007, I was already running in Spa-Francorchamps with Spyker F1," said Yamamoto.
Although the team is yet again expected to be running at the back of the field, team-mate Senna said he hoped the nature of the Spa-Francorchamps circuit would better suit the car.
"Spa is a medium downforce circuit and it demands a lot of high speed stability of the car, as the average speed of the corners is quite high," said Senna. "It will be very important to find a confidence-inspiring car balance to extract the best lap time possible.
"The downforce levels of the track are in line with what we have in our car and I have a good relationship with the circuit as well, so I am really looking forward to driving the car for the time."
