Marussia hopes dashed as other teams reject last year's car

Marussia’s hopes of competing in Formula One this season appear to have been dashed after Bernie Ecclestone revealed their request to race with last year’s car had been voted down.

The team, who were named as Manor Grand Prix on the FIA entry list for 2015, wanted to race with last year’s model before building up their resources to make a more credible challenge in 2016.
