Last week, Manor Racing became the final Formula One team to select their number one driver for the upcoming 2016 racing season, but notably did not pick a number two driver for their team – which was rumored to be up for grabs between two of last year’s drivers – Will Stevens and Alexander Rossi – and the GP2 series winner, Indonesian racer, Rio Haryanto.
Haryanto has evidently won out, due primarily to the sponsorship money he will be bringing with him – a reported $15 million from government-back oil company money – over Stevens and Rossi.
