Manor confident of improvement

Racing Director Dave Ryan is adamant that Manor have the resources to climb the F1 ladder in the coming years.

The minnows are, again, the slowest car on the grid in 2016 but do seem to have made progress following a tough 2015.

With a new management structure in place, brighter times are ahead for the team and Ryan told Autosport excitement is bubbling.

“We're in a great position, a far better position than we have been in the past," he said.

"There is a big desire to do well and resource available to improve in lots of areas.

"We know the areas where we are weak, we know the areas we need to work on, but you can't go down the shop and buy it.

"You have to either create it in house or invest a lot of time looking for the right solutions. They are not quick fixes, but I recognise them.

"We can see exactly where we need to invest time and money to improve our processes, and we couldn't do that in the past.

"The team has done a fantastic job just to be around given everything that happened.

"Now, we have to improve, we have to earn a right to be here. We know that."
