Today we’re all waking to the news that Esteban Ocon has replaced Rio Haryanto at Manor Racing (if not and this is a complete surprise, you can read more about it here).
Adding a new driver is a complex process; we have no current way of adding an update partially through the season; it’s either one or the other. For each driver in game we need to capture them using head-scanning photography, and re-record all the in-game voiceover characters in all supported languages. With no opportunity to do all of that until much later in the season, and with just 9 days until the game is out, and since Rio Haryanto has spent the majority of the 2016 season driving for Manor Racing, he will remain a Manor driver in F1 2016.
