Devoid of many sponsors, the new red and black car will be raced this year by wealthy Max Chilton and Luiz Razia, who replaced German Glock at the last minute.

‘Financial crisis’ threatens F1 – reports
Talented drivers are proving the victims of a financial crisis in formula one, according to media reports.

Marussia admits money reason for Glock exit
Marussia on Monday admitted the need for money is behind the decision to part with the team’s long-time lead driver Timo Glock.
It is believed German Glock, 30, was being paid about EUR 3 million per season. Reportedly yet to agree a new Concorde Agreement deal with Bernie Ecclestone, and narrowly missing out on the lucrative tenth place in the 2012 constructors’ championship, Marussia will almost certainly now replace Glock with a ‘pay driver’.
