Pascal Wehrlein is given the lead role at Manor for 2016.

Although just a rookie, Pascal Wehrlein has been given the lead role at Manor for 2016.

With Mercedes's backing, the reigning DTM champion will make his Formula 1 debut this year for the newly Mercedes-powered backmarker team.

Wehrlein, 21, will be partnered at Manor by fellow rookie Rio Haryanto, who is bringing millions to the team in the form of Indonesian state-linked backing.

Dave Ryan, the former McLaren man who is now Manor's racing director, told Auto Motor und Sport: "[Wehrlein] will take the lead role with us. And I'm sure he'll do a good job.

"Pascal is excellently prepared for formula one. He has already collected proper F1 experience at Mercedes, and his laptimes compared well to the regular drivers."

The German report says that Wehrlein will debut the 2016 Manor car, also featuring a Williams gearbox and suspension, at Barcelona on Monday.
