"The Marussia F1 Team is an Anglo-Russian Formula One racing team based in Banbury in the UK.
The team is currently managed by Marussia Manor Racing which was a subsidiary of Marussia Motors, a now defunct sports car manufacturer which was based in Moscow. The team originally started racing in 2010 under the " Virgin Racing" name, the following year Virgin adopted Marussia as title sponsor becoming "Marussia Virgin Racing" until being fully re-branded "Marussia F1 Team" for 2012.

The Marussia team scored its first championship points at the 2015 Monaco Grand Prix, where its leading driver, Jules Bianchi, finished ninth, in doing so Marussia became the first Russian licensed constructor to score world championship points.

Following a serious crash and injuries suffered by Jules Bianchi at the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix , the team raced for the first time with a single car at the inaugural Russian Grand Prix.
On 26 October 2014, news reports emerged that the Marussia team would not partecipate at the 2014 USA Grand Prix due to financial reasons and that, on 7 October 2014, the team filed a notice in the London High Court intending to assign an administrator. The appointed administrator released an official statement on 27 October 2014".
