No more Marussia. I wonder where the money will go?
A last-ditch attempt to return the Marussia F1 team to the grid for the season-ending Abu Dhabi GP has collapsed, Sky Sports News HQ has learnt.
Negotiations between administrators with potential investors fell through on Wednesday, dashing hopes that the team would return to the grid for the first time since last month's Russian GP.
After being placed in administration, the team have missed the U.S. and Brazil GPs and were formally wound up two weeks ago.
There has been no official comment from administrators, but it is understood that talks with the unnamed group have been going on since the start of the week.
Marussia are currently ninth in the Constructors' Championship but, following their demise, it remains unclear what will happen to the prize money, estimated at around £30m, that their position would, in normal circumstances, have generated.

I know.
His first words will be, "Did we beat Caterham" Then they'll explain the financial burden they had, and what Caterham had to go through, and before you know it, he went back to sleep.
Sad day in F1.

F1 is on the decline. Time to start replacing F1 dates with Indycar dates. Indycar would be more fun at Monza anyway.

I've thought of him in all of this too. "Not only did you have a bad accident, you're out of a job too."

I understand you, and hear your opinion. I think Indy is only slightly less boring than NASCAR and drying paint. Open wheel makes me think of the old Prix races that started it all. No seatbelts, mechanic beside you, death everywhere. That is what I would like to see, a modern version of that. Not interpreted or evolved from, just giant rolling death and giant mustaches. Give me a reason to cheer.
