They were owned by now-defunct Russian sports car manufacturer Marussia Motors. They are based in Banbury, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. Having competed under a Russian license from 2012 to 2014, they were the third Russian team in the sport, after Midland and Virgin. They entered administration after the 2014 Russian Grand Prix, and folded on Friday 7 November 2014. An auction of their assets was held, but a second one had been postponed indefinitely as talks regarding rescue deal are in progress. Administrators later confirmed that the team would go out of administration. However, on 5 February 2015, only one team voted against the request by Marussia to use their 2014 car. After the F1 Strategy Group chose not to let them use the chassis, Ferrari made a deal to supply Marussia with their 2014 engine. For 2016, the Marussia name has ultimately disappeared, and the team will now be named simply Manor Racing.
