Haryanto eager to learn from mistakes

Rio Haryanto has told Manor that he is becoming more confident in the car ahead of his debut F1 season.

The 23-year-old will be the first driver from Indonesia to race in F1, but he has made a mixed start to his career in the first test in Barcelona.

However, Haryanto is convinced he will overcome his early problems and said on Friday that he will not make the same mistakes again.

"I am here pushing to get the maximum out of myself and the car. You saw today I made a mistake. I have to learn from that, and not repeat it again the next time," said Haryanto.

"But I'm getting more confident with the team, and my relationship with the engineers is improving day by day.

"I'm learning, and there are two more days for me, so I'll try to do my best, to learn as much as I can before the first grand prix.

"Hopefully by the end of the tests next week I'll feel a lot more comfortable.

"Yesterday I was still learning a lot with the team, but today I felt there was a step.

"Day by day I will get used to it, which is why I believe there is a lot more to come from me because I am still very new to the car."
