Rio Haryanto may have lost his Manor race seat to Esteban Ocon, but the team have given him a Formula 1 lifeline by appointing him as reserve driver.
Manor said in a statement: “Manor Racing is pleased to announce that Rio Haryanto will remain with the team for the rest of the season, having accepted its offer of a Reserve Driver role.”
“Rio will be available to deputise should either race driver be unable to take part in an event. He will also be immersed in engineering meetings and PR activities, as the team continues its support for his racing ambitions.”
