The 2014 United States Grand Pri𓆏x will see 🍒the smallest grid for an F1 race in almost a decade following the confirmation that both Marussia and Caterham have been placed into administration.

Caterham 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: went into administration on October 24th in the wake of a public spat over ownership between former helmsman Tony Fernandes and buyers Engavest, while Marussia confirmed today it is also 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: in t♉he hands of the administrat👍ors after owner Andrey Cheglakov waꦏs un💛able to supply investment.

With both teams - which debuted in 2010⛎ under their previous Lotus and Virgin Racing guises - not making the trip to Austin this weekend for𝓡 the US Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas, a grid of just nine teams and 18 cars is set to be present.

As such, this weekend's event is🎃 destined to see the lowest number of cars to line up for an F1 race since the 2005 Monaco Grand Prix, when BAR Honda was serving the second of its two-race ban from the FIA for weight irregu✨larities.

Looking ahead into 2015, though the FIA has floated the idea of three-car teams as the financial situations of Caterham and Marussia became increasingly perilous, McLaren-Mercedes racing director Eric Boullier has already suggested it is 1﷽68澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: too late fo🤪r teams to consider a third machine with less than six months bef🦄ore the start of next year's season.
