The Indonesian government has said it is 'diඣsappointed' with the decision by Manor Racing to 𒆙drop Rio Haryanto from its race driver line-up for the remainder of the 2016 Formula 1 season.

The 23 year-old stepped up to F1 from GP2 this year with the British outfit, in doing so becoming th🐷e first Indonesian driver to start a grand prix, b♔ut was unable to raise funds to take him beyond his original agreement of 11 races.

With Haryanto's place in the team made possible by funding from state-owned petroleum company Pertamina, it was hoped he could generate enough sponsorship during the first-half of the year ജto complete the season without needing to call upon stat💮e budget again.

However, this was not possible, with Haryanto relegated to a reserve driver role and Esteban Ocon bein🙈g handed his place alongside Pascal Wehrlein, much to the g🦩overnment's disappointment.

"The Sports Ministry is disappointed with the decision, as Manor's racing director Dave Ryan in February promised Rio Haryanto would race a full season in F1," said government spokesperson Gatot Dewa Broto. "Moreover, Manor's team director Abdulla Boulsien in June said Rio is part of the team's🌠 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 R🍸io to race until German Grand Prix. Sports Ministry appreciates that."

"We asked to use state budget to finance Rio, but it wasn't allowed by the lawmakers. The parliament fully supports Rio's🌌 involvement in F1 but usin♛g the state budget is not the option."

As a result of the driver shuffle, Pertamina has declined Manor's offer of retaining an advertising presence on the car, according to the Jakarta Post.

Haryanto is beli🅺eved to have fallen 7.5 million euros short of the funding required to retain his drive. Perta🍸mina reportedly stumped up 5 million euros to secure the drive for the first half of the season.
