LONDON, England -- Austrian Christian Klien will race for Red Bull in Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix, the F1 team have said.

Klien has been sharing the team's second car with Italian Vitantonio Liuzzi this season, with the Austrian in the car since Canada in June.

Red Bull have said Liuzzi can expect to race again before the season ends but, with Belgium following immediately after the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, it made sense to continue with Klien.

"It's great to have another chance to race for the team," said Klein, who finished 13th at Monza ahead of team mate David Coulthard.

"I'm learning more about the car and gaining in confidence with every race."

Red Bull, who have been linked with a possible takeover of the Minardi team to accommodate a surplus of contracted drivers, have confirmed Coulthard for 2006 but have yet to decide between Klien and Liuzzi.
