Pascal Wehrlein has said that he is confident he will still be a Formula 1 driver in 2017.
The German made his F1 debut at Manor this year with Mercedes's backing.
He told reporters: "I don't know yet what I'm doing next year, because I have a one-year contract with Manor.
"I think talks will be held soon but I do think that I'm staying in F1."
The 2016 championship continues tomorrow with the Italian Grand Prix.
