Manor racing director Dave Ryan believes that Esteban Ocon has "huge potential" to succeed in Formula One.
Ocon was drafted in to replace Rio Haryanto mid-season, and Ryan thinks that the conditions that Ocon arrived under were not ideal.
“To arrive part-way through the season into a team that has been developing along with Pascal is a big ask,” Ryan said.
“We haven't helped the situation because he hasn't had the best of reliability up until now. But the kid's fantastic. He's got a fantastic attitude, he's got huge potential and together with him and Pascal it's a great driving line-up.”
Manor have still not confirmed their line-up for the 2017 season, but Ocon is expected to leave the team to join Nico Hulkenberg at Renault.
