Rio Haryanto secures second seat at Manor alongside Pascal Wehrlein http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/feb/18/rio-h...

5th place then 7th place in GP3, then highest position of 4th in GP2 last year after 4 years of trying. I know he brings much needed funds to Manor but this sort of thing just annoys me, they chose him over Rossi who was 2nd in GP2 last year and has F1 experience driving for Manor and years of F1 testing behind him, it's just plain wrong!

So you'd prefer Manor to fold and pull out of F1 due to lack of funds, taking 2 drivers from the grid in the process?
Of course no-one wants to see them fold but best drivers should get F1 drives, if that was the sole factor then you'd end up with Donald Trump and Bill Gates tootling around the track, exsteing stuff!
