Rio who?!

Haryanto, so not Alexander Rossi. The American was actually by everyone is considered to be the only logical candidate for the second Manor-seat in addition to DTM champion, Wehrlein, but that party was going nicely. The Indonesia-born Haryanto managed, however, to a chair to get hold of. What do we know of this man?

The 23-year-old Indonesian debuted in 2008 in single-seaters and raced last year in GP2. Of course, the young driver in the go karts and at the age of six. You can not early enough. The from Surakarta (FYI: at the time of the Dutch east Indies was called this city Solo) – born driver finished last year in fourth place in the GP2 standings with a total of three victories.

Furthermore, it will Haryanto undoubtedly a nice bag of money to bring to the Manor, a renstal where he has been since his GP3 debut in 2010, is related. We are curious if he is a bit of a measure up to his new teammate.
