Manor MRT05
The last Manor to race, a Mercedes-powered underdog whose hard-won point was not enough to keep the team alive.
About the Manor MRT05
Manor Racing launched the MRT05 in Barcelona in February 2016 as its first all-new car since 2014, switching from Ferrari to Mercedes power. It was designed largely from scratch because the team had lost its wind tunnel model when it collapsed at the end of 2014, and Dave Ryan, Pat Fry and Nikolas Tombazis joined its technical staff. Pascal Wehrlein qualified twelfth, the team's best grid position, and scored a point with tenth place in the same race, while Esteban Ocon replaced Rio Haryanto from the Belgian Grand Prix. Sauber's points in the rain-hit Brazilian Grand Prix pushed Manor to eleventh and last, and the lost prize money led the team into administration and closure in January 2017.
