Manor confirm that Rio Haryanto is their second driver for the 2016 Formula 1 season.

Manor have confirmed that Rio Haryanto will race for the team in the 2016 Formula 1 season.

The 23-year-old, who is being financially supported by Indonesia's state-owned oil company Pertamina, will partner Pascal Wehrlein.

Haryanto enters the F1 fold after spending three years in GP2 series, where his highest finish was fourth in the 2015 campaign.

Manor owner Stephen Fitzpatrick said: "We are delighted to announce Rio as our second race driver for 2016. Rio's been racing since he first got into a kart at six years old. He's tenacious on and off the track and made a big impression on last year's GP2 battle.

"Rio's huge following in Indonesia is great for the team and for F1. They are keen to see him on the grid and we're confident that we'll see him enjoying some exciting battles in the year ahead."

Haryanto added: "Manor Racing is a team with an exciting vision and ambitious plans. They have produced a great package and I can't wait to get in the car. Melbourne will be a huge moment for me, my country, supporters and fans and I want to thank everyone who's been with me since I started in single seaters; 2016 is my chance to reward that faith and represent Asia in F1."

The first grand prix of the season takes place in Australia on March 20.
