LONDON (Reuters) - Venezuelan driver Pastor Maldonado has not given up on Formula One and hopes to be back next year after being dropped by the Renault-owned Lotus team, his manager Nicolas Todt said on Tuesday.

"I don't see any concrete opportunity for Formula One this year," the Frenchman told Reuters. "We will try to bounce back in 2017."
