Roberto Merhi will be there with Manor in Malaysia

Roberto Merhi had planned to make his debut in F1 at the Australian GP, ​​but Manor F1 Team failed to put its cars on track after having to hastily prepare for the Melbourne race. Software problems overcame the efforts of the British structure which was close to filing for bankruptcy during the winter.

From the trip to Sepang for the second event contested this Sunday March 29, the 2011 champion of the F3 Euro Series is more than ever impatient to take his first steps in the discipline. “Sepang offers a particularly challenging environment and I prepare as best I can to deal with the heat and humidity. The last race weekend was disappointing for the whole team, but I know that the work put in allows us to be fully operational.", commented the Spaniard.

Roberto Merhi's contract with Manor F1 Team has not been fixed for a specific period. The starting position therefore remains provisional for the Hispanic pilot.
