McLaren reserve driver Kevin Magnussen has admitted that he doesn't think he will race for Manor this season.

The team, formerly known as Marussia, are a late entry onto the gird, and will appear in Australia without any previous running of their 2015 car.

Last week they announced that British driver Will Stevens will drive for them this year, but they are still in the hunt for a second driver.

Magnussen told reporters: “I think it would be wrong to say no completely, but it is not what I’m looking at. It’s not we are jumping in. We are thinking about everything.

“With the options we have, which one is the best one to be the most prepared and the most seen as being ready? There are many things that you have to take in to account I think, so it’s a difficult choice.”

Magnussen will race for McLaren at next week’s Australian Grand Prix, in place of Fernando Alonso who is out with concussion.
