Jordan King has said that he is 'perfectly ready' to jump in and drive the Manor Formula One car should Rio Haryanto not see out the season. 

King, who is a test driver for Manor and a GP2 competitor, feels that if the opportunity presented itself to drive the Manor full-time, he would be well up to the job. 

“I feel I’m perfectly ready to step into a F1 car," he said. "The first time I got in the car in Abu Dhabi was the shock of ‘I’ve actually driven an F1 car’, so at Barcelona it was a bit more chilled out."

"I actually knew what I was doing and it wasn’t ‘stars in your eyes’ so much," he added, "so I could focus more on doing the job"
