Manor reveals that Will Stevens will not contest today's Malaysia Grand Prix.
Just under an hour before the scheduled start the south Yorkshire squad tweeted: "Sadly Will is unable to start today's race as we have not been able to get on top of the fuel system problem from yesterday."
The Briton missed much of FP3 and all of qualifying due to the fuel system issue and it was only the benevolence of the stewards that he, and his teammate Roberto Merhi, who qualified out-side the 107% cut-off, were allowed to start.
Nonetheless, the late withdrawal of Stevens is a massive step-up from Melbourne where the team failed to turn a wheel all weekend, drawing the ire of Bernie Ecclestone who is understood to be docking them up to £2m in prize money.
