German Pascal Wehrlein completes the 2016 grid, alongside fellow rookie Rio Haryanto, at Manor and will make his F1 debut in Australia.
The 21-year-old is on the books of Mercedes, and is highly-tipped to one day take over from current stars Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg.
But first he must prove himself F1-worthy, after an interesting junior career which has seen him so far avoid GP2 and GP3.
Instead, Wehrlein started his single-seater career in ADAC Formula Masters, where he finished sixth in the championship with one victory and three podiums.
From there, he went into Formula 3 Euro Series where he finished second, before switching across to DTM.
This is where he really made his mark, as two wins and five podiums helped him on the way to become champion last year.
He combined that with his role as Mercedes and Force India test driver, before Manor came calling in 2016. The Manor wasn't very fast and the team had to pullout at the end of the season.
In 2017 Wehrlein was driving for Sauber. He ended up as 17th in the drivers championship with the worst car of the grid. Although he scored all 5 valuable points for the team from Switzerland, he wasn't offered a seat for the 2018 season. Pay driver Marcus Ericsson was given the race seat.
Also the fact that Ferrari was buying into the team to become title sponsor with the Alfa Romeo name was not good for his F1 career. Ferrari was not in the mood to educate a driver with a Mercedes contract.
In 2018 it was announced that Wehrlein broke up with Mercedes to get a change on the Toro Rosso seat. Whether or not we will see the very talented driver back in the future is unclear.
