Gutted that my local team, Marussia have gone out of business. I was hoping they would be saved. It's sad for my town, Formula One and those who have lost their jobs. Bernie and co have sat back and done nothing while happy to rake in the money. It's disgusting. One final thought is that poor Jules' two points and his last race were in vain. Gutted.
One hope for Marussia's employee's is HAAS. Word is they're after a Ferrari powerplant, something Marussia know about. Maybe even a European race base
The cynic in me thinks that certain members of F1's management might be glad to see them fall by the wayside. I imagine It's just like bulldozing old buildings to pave the way for new. Once Caterham is pronounced dead, I wonder which manufacturers will be announced for 2016 or 2017 over the winter.
Feel really sorry for them. They went about stuff the right way, they joined at a time when F1 promised certain things, F1 never delivered, F1 shafted them and didn't care.
I find some of the opinions out there about Marussia and Caterham collapsing quite sad. So many people are all "F*** em, they're useless". Well, Sauber could be next on the chopping block, then Lotus.... Then what are we going to be left with?
It would be fantastic if they can make it to Abu Dhabi! It would probably put the final nail in Caterham's coffin though. What a strange and sad battle for 10th.
I note Graeme Lowdon's sentiment “The biggest asset that this sport has are the fans." I'd love to see the confusion on Bernie's face if he reads that.
