Bianchi, 23, had been in the running for the final seat at Force India before he lost out to Adrian Sutil on Thursday.
But his dramatic 24 hours ended on a high note when Razia, who had been named as Mark Chilton’s teammate in Jerez last month, was dropped after a reported failure to deliver promised sponsorship to Marussia.
“I am thrilled to have secured a race seat with the Marussia Formula One team,” said Bianchi. “Racing in Formula One this season has been my goal over the winter and after evaluating a number of options I am very excited to have this opportunity to demonstrate that I am ready for this next step in my racing career.”
