- 09 Οκτ 2014, 19:09 #22349 Marussia has entered its reserve driver Alexander Rossi to the FIA’s entry list, alongside Max Chilton, and has prepared a second chassis, although it remains to be seen whether the American will actually race in Russia, with the team keen to only race a second car with the consent of those close to the injured Bianchi.

While teams are contractually obliged to run two cars at every race, AUTOSPORT reports that the team has been given special dispensation under the circumstances to run just a single car, or even pull out of the event entirely.

Nico Rosberg set the fastest time in the opening Formula 1 practice session at the inaugural Russian Grand Prix.

The Mercedes driver put in a time just 0.065 seconds quicker than his team-mate Lewis Hamilton.

Jenson Button impressed for McLaren, setting the third quickest time, while his team-mate Kevin Magnussen was fifth. They were split by the Ferrari of Fernando Alonso.

Drivers spent the morning session familiarising themselves with the new 3.6-mile circuit created around Sochi's Olympic Park and it was evident how little grip the new track had.

Button spun at Turn 8 unharmed, while many drivers ran wide into Turn 2.

Local hero Daniil Kvyat shone in his Toro Rosso, setting the seventh fastest time behind Force India's Sergio Perez. He was ahead of the second Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen and his team-mate Jean-Eric Vergne.

The Red Bulls of Daniel Ricciardo and Sebastian Vettel were struggling, finishing 12th and 14th respectively, over 1.5s off the pacesetting Mercedes.

The two Williams were 10th and 11th, with Valtteri Bottas ahead of his team-mate Felipe Massa, although there was a bizarre reason why Bottas was forced to sit out much of the session after a malfunctioning tyre blanket ruined one of his sets of Pirelli tyres.

The session was held in warm and sunny conditions with a air temperature of 20 degrees C.

Aside from the regular drivers the session included Russian Sergey Sirotkin, who took over Esteban Gutierrez's Sauber, while Roberto Merhi drove Kamui Kobayashi's Caterham. The latter had a spin at towards the end of the 90-minute session when he pirouetted at Turn 15.

Only one Marussia was fielded for Max Chilton after the team's decision to not run a second car this weekend following Jules Bianchi's Suzuka accident.

- 10 Οκτ 2014, 11:19 #22624 MARUSSIA F1 TEAM STATEMENT - Sochi Autodrom, Russia- Friday 10 October 2014,
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.
Max Chilton #4
"I don't know how to put into words how truly devastated I am by what has happened to Jules. The support from the F1 family has been incredible & all we can do is be there to support Jules' family at this difficult time. It is going to be a very emotional weekend for the whole Team, but we will try to get through it and keep praying for Jules."

- 10 Οκτ 2014, 13:20 #22684 Αν δεν κάνω λάθος δεν αναφέρθηκε κάπου η ποινή του Hulkenberg λόγω κιβωτίου ε; Επίσης από ότι διάβασα ο Μαρκο είπε στην Αυστριακή τηλεόραση πως σε αυτόν τον αγώνα ο Vettel θα αλλάξει κινητήρα και θα βάλει τον 6ο.

@Geo για τώρα λέω.
