Speculation continues as to whether the Marussia F1 team, now renamed Manor, will be able to make the grid in Australia on March 15.
But they’re certainly going to try!
As of Thursday, Feb. 12, it appears that the Manor F1 Team has completely rebranded its Twitter and Facebook accounts, with their profile pictures/avatars simply containing the words “GET READY.”
Thanks to Jules Bianchi scoring the team’s only points with a ninth place finish at the 2014 Monaco GP, the team was awarded a good sum of money at the end of the 2014 season.
However, the team is also in massive debt, including a $24 million sum that they need to pay to parent team Ferrari.
Force India blocked a bid by Marussia to use its 2014 chassis for the 2015 season in an F1 Strategy Group meeting late last week.
Manor CEO Grame Lowdon responded later on that day, stating that the team was not giving up its goal of being on the 2015 grid and is, in fact, even working on a 2015 car.
One can only hope that this social rebranding is a positive sign.
