Alfa Romeo deny Giovinazzi-Ericsson switch reports!
F1 News
Alfa Romeo have denied reports that reserve driver Marcus Ericsson will be replacing Antonio Giovinazzi for this weekend's race, contrary to earlier reports.
The Italian team have confirmed that Ericsson is in Belgium with the team, but he is not set to race.
To add more questions, the Swede is missing an IndyCar round to be in Belgium, which would perhaps be a strange move considering he isn't set to race at Spa.
Alfa Romeo tweeted this after suggestions of the switch:
Kimi is back, Antonio is back and they look forward to racing in Spa... and look who’s also with us this time, it’s Marcus! @Ericsson_Marcus #BelgianGP #AlfaRomeoRacing #GetCloser pic.twitter.com/mvMhqMKRES
