Pastor Maldonado announced yesterday he would not be on the grid in 2016 after losing his seat at Renault, with his manager Nicolas Todt today ruling out a move to Manor. It was one of the new teams in 2010 which gave Maldonado his first run in an F1 car, with Hispania giving him two days of testing in Abu Dhabi, either side of a day with Williams. Maldonado signed to drive for the latter the following year.
