Thanks for all you guys for putting in an effort. Its sad that this team ends this way, but you guys really held on for 3 tough years and were a worthwhile part of a great sport, as in sports effort is really just as important as results.
So to all of you a big thank you, and I hope you get a chance elsewhere, maybe even in another F1 team, soon.

On the subject of Cosworth….. In Tooned Episode 12 Ron Dennis has a parrot called Cosworth. With Cosworth up for sale, could this be a hint for the future? McLaren buys Cosworth to produce it’s own road and racing engines??

Probably would have lasted another year or so, because the manufacturing would have remained where it was.

Moving to Spain killed any chance the team had.

Cosworth aren’t developing (or, at least, havent’ announced) a 2014-spec engine, so Marussia are going somewhere else anyway.

My guess would be Mercedes at a push or PURE if they ever happen. Costs aren’t a problem (they’re capped), its the capacity of the supplier.

for the mechanics, we are with you! i´m spanish and I think is not good to be with a company when they don´t choose the right options or they compell you to many things, good luck, let´s hope someone rescue the team and invest money and you can come back to get better results! Cheer up your good job will be seen!

Maybe that’s why the police were called…

No, not at all. Constructive dismissal occurs when the employer makes it impossible for the employee to perform their job and then dismisses them for lack of productivity or incompetency. This was extortion, as JoJ says, and if true could land the HRT management in serious criminal hot water.
