GP2 driver Jordan King will drive for Manor in first practice for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at the Yas Marina Circuit.
It will be the British driver’s second outing with Manor in FP1, having made his race weekend debut for the team at the United States Grand Prix.
His practice run at the Circuit of the Americas followed runs during in-season tests at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya and Silverstone.
King is currently racing in the GP2 series with Racing Engineering and holds fifth in the standings ahead of the season finale in Abu Dhabi.
He has won two races and scored three further podium finishes, with two races still remaining.
King will replace Force India-bound Esteban Ocon at Manor in FP1 at Yas Marina, splitting his GP2 duties with F1 on Friday.
