"We understand Manor's concern but we hope Rio will not be replaced by another driver just because of funding issues," Indonesian sports ministry spokesman Gatot Dewa Broto said. "We don't really see that [securing the funding] happening. We can't promise anything."
Auto Hebdo also said that Ocon's Manor deal would see the 19-year-old leave DTM. Ocon has been competing in the touring car series this year after winning back-to-back Formula Three and GP3 titles but Mercedes has reportedly already signed his replacement.
He has also spent the season on loan at Renault where he has served as their reserve driver.
