With the herculean task of getting their team back together, getting allowed back into the piranha club, and getting their old 2014 chassis compliant for the 2015 regulations seemingly behind them, there was some question over the engine deal Manor Marussia were able to strike with Ferrari. Their existing chassis could not be expected to accommodate the new engines, so they are presently running with the only engine to fail to get a win last year and the one that has been most improved upon during the off season, but one of the questions hanging over them is what will happen when they get their 2015 chassis ready? Luckily, it is now confirmed that their 2015 chassis will in fact have the 2015 Ferrari engine, which should provide a much needed performance boost and get them away from the 107% cutoff they are presently hovering around. With the way Ferrari and Sauber have improved, hopefully we can see these plucky underdogs start biting at the heels of those in front of them. With luck, Mclaren-Honda's difficulties, Force India's step backwards, and Renault's tendency to either not run or run poorly could conspire to deliver another giant-slaying performance like the one we saw last year in Monaco with Jules Bianchi. I'm still rooting for them. #ForzaJules

As much as I don't want to see that, I kind of do just to see how long Alonso can pretend to be happy with his move for.
