Roberto Mehri to drive for Manor Marussia in Australia

Roberto Mehri has been announced as Manor Marussia's second driver for this weekend's Australian Grand Prix.

The team is a surprise entry this season after they went into administration at the end of last year, but they have found outside investment in recent weeks to allow them to compete in 2015.

Will Stevens has already been named as one driver, and Mehri will partner the Englishman beginning in Melbourne.

Mehri drove in several Friday practice sessions for Caterham last season.
