Manor GP F1 Australia 2016: Rio Haryanto and Pascal Wehrlein

The Manor team will occupy the back of the grid. None of their drivers was able to overtake another car and, even worse, Rio Haryanto has received the first sanction of the 2016 season after an accident with Romain Grosjean in the third free practice. A penalty of three posts, which simply modifies the last row of the grid, as Pascal had qualified Wehrlein behind Indonesian.

Rio Haryanto
"After the previous system of Q1 had 20 minutes to extract the best out of the car and the driver, is somewhat strange to have a shorter qualifying session. Today we only had time for one lap. It was not a bad return either, but neither it was perfect. I could have been faster and that's what we have to work, but even a tenth less would have been out of time. still, I have completed my first qualifying, I learned a lot and my job is to keep improving in every area . Tomorrow is my first F1 race and I'm very excited about it. I'm sure we can have a better day. "

Pascal Wehrlein
"It's not the result I expected, but I can not complain;.. The system is the system This was our first attempt at it and we will have to find a way to improve window is very narrow, so while my time back is key, we have to work hard to optimize the strategy, to see where we can earn extra time. I do not think there was much more we could have done today in the first time out, so we have to go step by step so that the better. Tomorrow, however, is when it really counts. I've waited a long time for this moment, so that disappoint me as I am now, nothing will remove the gloss align the F1 grid for the first time ".

Dave Ryan, director of career:
"At first, a reflection for the new qualifying format, that's for sure. We plan when leaving the pits, we try to give the right amount of separation to minimize traffic and were working for two consecutive timed laps. We held the Sauber in the second lap and that cost us time, but the conclusion is that we have much work to do in all areas to optimize our performance, with the car, our drivers and operacionalmente-. this is putting all the pieces in the best way together. this is the system in which we have to work, and although they have divided the opinions today, I think that we should not rush to judgment for the moment;. it will take a few more races to see if this goes against the objectives for now however, I think we can be a little more positive about the race. Our pace in the long runs has been promising, and we have made clearly made a good step with the closing of the gap to the other teams. I hope that tomorrow we have a better chance to better understand everything. "
