Manor Racing in difficulties

The news has been making a lot of noise since this morning in the British media. The only team registered for the 2017 edition of the World Championship F1 whose drivers we do not yet know, Manor Racing seems to be in great difficulty.

This morning, the company of which she is a part, namely Just Racing Services Ltd, was reportedly placed into administration. Discussions held in recent weeks with possible American investors have apparently failed.

The bad news continues for the team, which had already lost big at the Brazilian Grand Prix, the penultimate round of the 2016 financial year. The two points scored by Felipe Nasr allowed the Sauber F1 Team to regain tenth place from Manor of the Manufacturers' championship and the significant income that goes with it. Cruel when we know that this position was occupied by the English entity since the beginning of July and the 10th place taken by Pascal Wehrlein at the Austrian Grand Prix.

If this is not the first time that the Banbury team has gone through a difficult winter, its presence on the grid in 2017 is, to date, far from assured.
