Following the sacking of Nelson Piquet from his Renault contact in Formula One, several GP2 teams are also on the hunt for new drivers.
As expected Romain Grosjean will almost certainly made his F1 debut at Valencia or Spa, depending on the outcome of Renaults appeal over their one race ban.
Stepping up to Barwa Addax to replace Grosjean will be Davide Valsecchi, who has left Durango at the request of his management representatives.
Durango are currently deciding between three possible contenders for Valchecchi's seat.
Former GP2 Asia Super Nova driver James Jakes is in the frame, as is former BCN driver Carlos Iaconelli who is currently racing in Formula Two.
Another contender is Formula 3000 Euro series driver Marco Bonanomi who has also previously raced in GP2 Asia. He had confirmed that he has had a seat fitting, but would not be racing in Valencia, but Spa and Monza are possibilities.
