      Alexander Rossi is hoping his five races with Manor at the end of this season will allow him to prove his worth as a Formula One driver.

      The American signed a deal with F1's smallest team to replace Roberto Mehri at five of the remaining seven races this year, while continuing his campaign in F1's feeder series GP2.
