F1: King gets second FP1 outing with Manor

Jordan King will get his second opportunity to take part in Formula 1 free practice when he drives for Manor at next weekend's season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Manor development driver King got his first taste of grand prix weekend action when he drove for the team in first practice at COTA, taking over from Pascal Wehrlein. During that session, he finished 20th after 29 laps, just under two seconds quicker than teammate Esteban Ocon.

King will replace Force India-bound Ocon at Yas Marina, with the running dovetailing with his GP2 commitments where he currently lies fifth in the standings.

"We're pleased to welcome Jordan back to the cockpit for his second planned FP1 session," said Manor racing director Dave Ryan. "He'll be taking over Esteban's car on Friday morning and we have a busy programme of testing items lined up for him again."
