This is the Manor F1 Team Twitter account - formerly the Marussia one - which  the team has updated ahead of a planned move to exit administration next week. While the Strategy Group blocked a move to run a 2014 car next season, Manor says it already had approval for what it can use and has been hard at work for a number of months. The F1 Commission could also ratify the entry, so is this a sign we'll have ten teams on the grid in Australia? Fingers crossed...
