PICS: From Virgin Racing to Manor

1 of 4 new teams in F1 for 2010, Virgin Racing's start was dogged by management changes and needed a chassis revision after its fuel tank was too small for the car to finish a race distance without having to conserve fuel.

Car maker Marussia gained a controlling stake in the team which switched it to using a Russian racing license but the team still couldn't crack the top 10.

A third name switch in three years and a move to Banbury, Marussia were set to finish 10th in the teams' standings until Caterham stole the place and the extra prize money thanks to Vitaly Petrov's 11th place finish in Brazil (watch out for history repeating itself later).

Thoroughly more competitive than Caterham at the back of the field in 2013, Jules Bianchi's 13th place at Sepang secured 10th in the teams' standings and acted as the first genuine step forward for the team.

Jules Bianchi scores Marussia's first F1 points with P9 in Monaco to not only beat Caterham but also leapfrog F1 stalwarts Sauber in 2014.

But heartbreak was to follow when Bianchi suffered a terrible accident in October at Suzuka and he would succumb to his head injuries in July 2015. Funding was withdrawn and the team fell into administration less than a month later and missed the final three races of the year.

After four months of inactivity Stephen Fitzpatrick saves the F1 squad and it passes the FIA crash tests with a modified 2014 car just a day before the shipping freight deadline for the Australian Grand Prix. Having not completed a single lap of pre-season testing, Manor Marussia sat out the Melbourne race but did contest the Malaysian Grand Prix. Key technical appointments were introduced but due to a dispute on the future direction of the team Graeme Lowdon and John Booth left ahead of the Mexican GP.

New colours and yet another new name, Manor sealed a power unit deal with Mercedes and continued its rebuilding process. Pascal Wehrlein scored the team's only point of the 2016 F1 season with P10 in Austria.

Hoping to cling on to 10th place in the F1 teams' championship thanks to Wehrlein's point in Austria, Sauber eventually leapfrogged them with Felipe Nasr's P9 in a rain-soaked Brazilian GP. The miss of vital prize money hit potential new investors hard and Manor was unable to find new owners. The team fell into administration for the second time in January 2017 before folding.

For a second time the team fell into administration in January 2017 before eventually folding. We hope it isn't the end for the plucky underdog who has gathered fans through its adversities and become recognised as a worthy F1 team.
