First the Caterham F1 team declared bankruptcy amidst an ownership dispute, and now the Marussia team has gone into bankruptcy administration as well.

 

Alongside Caterham (then flying the Lotus banner) and the now-defunct Hispania Racing Team, the squad now known as Marussia entered the championship in 2010 as Virgin Racing. The team was sold and renamed Marussia Virgin Racing in 2011 and dropped the Virgin moniker altogether the following season, scoring its first and only two championship points earlier this season in Monaco. But that solitary, relative success has proven insufficient to guarantee the team's future.

With a lack of funds and one of its drivers critically injured at the Russian Grand Prix, the Marussia team's parent company Manor Grand Prix Racing Limited has declared bankruptcy. Alongside Caterham, it is now assured to be missing the United States Grand Prix at Austin next weekend. Unless a new backer can be secured immediately, the team is likely to miss the following rounds in Brazil and Abu Dhabi as well. The likely question now is whether Marussia, like Caterham, can find a new buyer in time for next season.

  • A 20-year journey, an old passion rekindled

    For us 90s babies, the Holy Trinity of Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network formed a big part of our childhood. The internet was just about coming into fruition, with the rise of a plethora of websites with numerous entertaining flash games and of course, the early days of YouTube. And though those things have come and gone, one thing in my life remained constant: My love for Pokemon. I first got into Pokemon 20 years ago, and I remember exactly how it went down. Let me set the

    Fascinated by honey

    If there's one natural food (aka can be eaten raw) that I absolutely love, it's honey. Yes, there are countless varieties from around the world, but for this story, we'll talk about the kind that comes straight out of a hive, complete with honeycomb. I'm not an expert on this topic, but every time I consume raw, unprocessed honey, it tastes a lot better compared to honey that comes in a jar. No squeeze-bottle honey for me, please. Perhaps it's just my imagination, but raw honey doesn't

    The Joys of Morning Walks

    Like most other folks stuck in the rut of smartphone-hyper-use, I recently caught myself doing the same each morning: Waking up to immediately reach for my phone. Reflecting on the first quarter of the year, however – and realising that I’ve been subconsciously plunged into an extended bout of languidness – brought me to the realisation: Perhaps it's time to embrace a different routine. One that started with stepping outside into the crisp morning air, and feeling the gentle warmth of
