Mehri wants to be paid next year

Roberto Mehri has said that he is wants to be paid to race in Formula 1 next season.

The Spaniard was unpaid at Manor last season and was dropped for a section of the campaign so that the well-funded Alex Rossi could take over.

Mehri’s F1 future remains uncertain and he has not ruled out being a test driver for a big team.

"The target now is to be a professional racing driver and race in something where you can stay and without worrying if next race I'll be in the car or not. That's the target," he said.

"I think the year went well and I would love to continue after the results I had in the past and now. I think I belong in single-seaters and not in something with a roof.

"My target is to continue with single-seaters.

"I'm trying to see what we can do for next year. At the moment we are looking at some options. In Formula 1 there are a few options and outside there are a few options. It's quite hard out there."
