Marussia to run one car in Russia out of respect for Bianchi

Marussia have confirmed they are to run only one car throughout this weekend’s inaugural Russian Grand Prix as a mark of respect for the critically-injured Jules Bianchi.

On Thursday, Marussia confirmed American reserve Alexander Rossi was eligible for the race as a potential replacement for Bianchi, who was involved in a horrific crash in Sunday’s rain-hit event in Japan.
