!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . John Booth and Graeme Lowdon, the men who managed to drag their team back from collapse to being a potential midfield team next year are resigning. I have such a soft spot for this little team, and those two are a large part of the reason for it. I’m clearly not the only one, because apparently a ton of staff will leave with them. They managed the impossible this year, and won’t get to be there when their work pays off. That’s not fair.

Nooooooooo! I too have a soft spot for Manor, I hadn't yet heard this news but I'm totally bummed for them. Have they named replacements yet?

No. I hope that Booth and Lowdon are bluffing and that Fitzpatrick has enough sense to realize that they are the team to a certain extent, but if Autosport’s reporting that it doesn’t look good, I tend to believe them..

I follow Motorsport.com usually. Their stuff is mostly accurate, here’s their story:

Oh my god. Fitzpatrick wanted a Renault? And he’s still pissed even though they pulled a masterstroke by getting a Merc? Fuck. This is bad.

Yeah, before this shakeup I thought they had a real chance to give the mid-field, Haas a decent run for their money and score some points next year. They might still but it won't be sustainable.
