The 2014 United States Grand Prix will see the smallest grid for an F1 race in almost a decade following the confirmation that both Marussia a♒nd 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 the hands꧟ of the administrators after owner Andrey Cheglakov was unable to supಞply investment.

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

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, w⛎hen BAR Honda was serving the second of its two-race ban from the FIA for weight irregularities.

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 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: too ♕late for teams to consider a third machine with less than six months before the st🐟art of next year's season.
