Last we heard, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! to get on with it for the 2015 season with a 2014 car. Everyone said "No, that's against the rules, and we want a piece of your $30M"

The team announced last week that it was exiting administration, taking another step towards a return to racing with its 2014 cars.
Ferrari confirmed last week it had agreed to supply the team with its 2014 power units.
On Wednesday, Manor said the cars with which it plans to compete in Melbourne are in advanced "state of build".
"The approval by the Company's creditors on 19 February 2015 to a Company Voluntary Arrangement paves the way for the team to exit from administration and since that time everyone involved with Manor has been working flat out on the key components of its 2015 challenge," said Manor in a statement.
"The car with which Manor will begin the season is now in an advanced stage of build at the team's current race preparation facility in Dinnington, UK, where personnel are working 24-7 towards the air freight dispatch date of 6 March.

I so hope they make it. Everything about their collapse and efforts to get back on the grid has been a tragic and uphill battle that continues to be fought because they're racers and have to keep fighting. This has been the polar opposite of the Caterham debacle. How big do you think that the Manor wallet will be, and will it be Jordan King?

It can't be much bigger than the Marussia Wallet.

Also, I'm kind of glad to see Will Stevens getting the seat. He actually impressed me in Abu Dhabi. He got on top of an underdeveloped car that was jerry-rigged together, qualified very well, and fought for position with Alonso because he could as opposed to just letting him by because it's going to happen anyway was pretty ballsy for a debutante in a backmarker that shouldn't have been there.
