Liputan6.com, Jakarta - Masa depan Rio Haryanto yang belum jelas bersama Manor Racing ternyata menjadi sorotan dunia. Beragam media luar negeri memberitakan permasalahan ini sepanjang akhir pekan.

Rio hingga sekarang baru membayar delapan juta euro pada Manor. Artinya pembalap Indonesia itu masih utang tujuh juta euro agar bisa turun semusim penuh di ajang F1.

Hingga sekarang donasi yang digalang Pemerintah untuk Rio juga belum berjalan maksimal. Sehingga ada peluang Rio hanya akan membalap hingga seri ke-11.

Tentu hal ini membuat media luar negeri memberikan atensi khusus pada Rio. Laman F1Today membuat judul, Mother Haryanto: He is looking for money to complete the season".

Sementara website F1i.com menulis judul "Management working hard to secure Haryanto seat". Tidak jauh berbeda, Paddock Talk juga membuat berita "Haryanto looking for money to complete season".

Sedangkan media asal AS, Autoweek memberikan judul yang lebih keras yakni "Manor F1 driver Rio Haryanto running low on sponsor dollars".

Mother Haryanto: "He is looking for money to complete the season"
Rio Haryanto's mother has admitted the Indonesian rookie is currently lacking the money he needs to complete the second half of the 2016 season.

Reports have suggested that while the 23-year-old is backed by the Indonesian government and Pertamina, the state-owned oil company, he could still be replaced by Manor after July's Hungarian grand prix.

"We are striving to find a sponsor to cover the remaining amount of 7.5 million euros," Rio's mother, Indah Pennywati, told the Indonesian national news agency Antara.

Rumours have linked former Williams and Lotus driver Pastor Maldonado with the seat for the second half of the season, but Pennywati insisted: "We are doing our best to find a sponsor."

In fact, she said that even though a deadline for Haryanto to secure the funds has already passed, Manor is willing to wait a bit longer for the money.

"That is the only thing they ask from us, really," said Pennywati.

Management ‘working hard’ to secure Haryanto seat
By Julien Billiotte, 04/06/2016 at 15:00

Formula One rookie Rio Haryanto says his management is currently “working hard” to secure his Manor seat for the entire 2016 season.

The 23-year-old received help from the Indonesian government to outbid the likes of Alexander Rossi and Will Stevens for the final spot on the grid. Haryanto’s seat is reportedly only safe until the British GP, though his Manor spell can be extended depending the results of a crowd-funding campaign launched in his home country.

“I hope that I can be here for the full season,” he is quoted as saying by GPUPdate.net when quizzed on his contractual situation.

“There are some rumours that I'm only going to do half of the season at Manor, but at the moment my management are working very hard to get the full season.”

With his F1 future still unsure, Haryanto says he can only focus on challenging his highly-touted team-mate Pascal Wehrlein, something the Indonesian has been acquitting himself quite well with since the start of the season.

“I’ve just got to do my best, drive the car as quickly as possible and work with the team well.

“I still believe there is a lot more to come, and to be able to compete with Pascal, and to match him, is a good reference, so I'll just try to keep it up and be slightly quicker again.”

Mom suggests driver won't have enough money for second half of season

Rio Haryanto's mother has admitted the Indonesian rookie is currently lacking the money he needs to complete the second half of the 2016 Formula One season.

Reports have suggested that while the 23-year-old driver is backed by the Indonesian government and Pertamina -- the state-owned oil company -- he could still be replaced by Manor after the July 24 Hungarian Grand Prix.

"We are striving to find a sponsor to cover the remaining amount of ($8.5 million)," Rio's mother, Indah Pennywati, told the Indonesian national news agency Antara.

In fact, she said that even though a deadline for Haryanto to secure the funds has already passed, Manor is willing to wait a bit longer for the money.
