Been on the cards for a while, but officially confirmed now. Jerome D'Ambrosio in, Lucas di Grassi out.

Jerome D'Ambrosio has secured the second race seat at Virgin Racing for 2011, the team announced on Tuesday.

The Belgian conducted third-driver duties for the team in Friday practice sessions towards the end of last season and had been one of the favourites to race alongside Timo Glock next year.
