About the Marussia MR03
The MR03 was Marussia's 2014 car and its first to use a Ferrari engine, the 1.6-litre 059/3 V6 turbo hybrid. Jules Bianchi and Max Chilton returned for a second season, and the car generally performed better relative to its rivals than earlier Marussias. Bianchi scored his and the team's first points at Monaco, but was gravely injured in a crash at the Japanese Grand Prix that led to his death nine months later. The team ran only Chilton in Russia, then went into administration and missed the remaining races, before the car returned in modified form as the MR03B in 2015.
