Haryanto needed 7-million euros more to stay on the F1 grid

Ousted Manor rookie Rio Haryanto has revealed that a shortfall of 7 million euros is what cost him his drive with the team, which has relegated him to reserve role as they welcome Mercedes backed Esteban Ocon as his replacement.

Haryanto told Tempo, "[Manor] helped me by allowing me to race in German Grand Prix. With the available funding, I should have only raced up to the Hungarian Grand Prix."

"The contract says it was 15 million euros in total. We only managed to garner eight million euros. We were seven million euros short," admitted Haryanto.
