The Indonesian government is disappointed with Manors decision to drop Rio Haryanto?after 12 races of the 2016 season.On Wednesday Manor confirmed it was dropping Haryanto, who was unable to provide funding for the rest of the campaign, and replacing him with Esteban Ocon. Haryantos position at the team had been secured ahead of the season thanks to financial backing from state-owned oil company Pertamina, making him Indonesias first F1 driver.The government has reacted with disappointed to Wednesdays news, saying it had assurances from the team Haryanto would see out the season when he originally signed -- though it should be noted his original deal only covered the first 11 races. ?In a statement on Thursday, government spokesperson Gatot Dewa Broto said: The Sports Ministry is disappointed with the decision, as Manors racing director Dave Ryan in February promised Rio Haryanto would race a full season in F1. Moreover, Manors team director Abdulla Boulsien in June said Rio is part of the teams long term plan for at least two years.We understand the situation in which Manor asked Rio and his management to pay the remaining fees before the Hungarian Grand Prix on July 24 and it turned out that Manor gave another chance for Rio to race until German Grand Prix. Sports Ministry appreciates that.The statement goes on to say the government was not able to provide Haryanto with the funds which ultimately would have extended his stay at Manor.We asked to use state budget to finance Rio, but it wasnt allowed by the lawmakers. The parliament fully supports Rios involvement in F1 but using the state budget is not the option.Haryanto has since accepted the role of reserve driver at Manor, meaning he will step in to replace Ocon or Pascal Wehrlein if either man cannot complete an event.
