I trust Ron Dennis 100%. And I trust the Japanese that is making the package.

Of course the Honda engine is going to be good! They've had a year to copy/improve on the Mercedes engine!

To be honest Renault has been making turbo engine for decades too.

I don't care what anyone says, seeing is believing. There is no guarantee that the Honda engine is going to be amaze *****.

That's 16 years and they're not winning one this year, so that would be 17 years before their next opportunity.

Car Info: 2011 SWP WRX Hatch
Marussia is fielding one car this weekend.

We will run a single car for the duration of the forthcoming Grand Prix weekend in Sochi, out of respect for our driver Jules Bianchi, who remains in hospital in Yokkaichi, Japan, in a critical but stable condition.

We have written to the Stewards of the Meeting to inform them that we have withdrawn our second car. Notwithstanding the presence in Sochi of Alexander Rossi, the nominated Official Reserve Driver for the 2014 Russian Grand Prix, the Team feels strongly that fielding a single car, that of driver number 4, Max Chilton, is the appropriate course of action under the difficult circumstances of the weekend.

Jules' car crew have built a second car, which has been scrutineered and is ready to race, and this will remain on his side of the garage throughout the weekend. In support of Jules and his family, the Team and its cars will carry the familiar #JB17 graphic, to ensure that, although Jules is not with us in Sochi this weekend, he is, nonetheless, racing on with the Marussia F1 Team.
