Starting Staff
Car 1- Isack Hadjar with Hass's Gary Gannon as engineer
Car 2- Former Red Bull academy driver Dennis Hauger with William's Gaëtan Jego
Tech Chief- Matt Harman jumps from the sinking ship that is alpine
Director of Aero- Alessandro Cinelli leaves Sauber for a clean slate
Sporting Director- Sven Smeets leaves Williams for a new challenge
Keeping with the old teams spirit, first season will be a Ferrari engine, as when the team raced under Marussia that's what they used.

Bahrain practice was about learning and sorting out issues, but we proved to be slow in quali, 21st and 22nd roughly 2.8 seconds down on the leaders. we shall fight back in the race
going for an unconventional 1 stop (Hard-medium) with Hadjar and going for the more common 2 stop (S-M-S) for Hauger

Hards in Bahrain?
yeah he was 35 seconds off Hauger at the end
DNFs are Gasly and Bottas, wrecking on lap 49. 3 lap shootout on softs let hauger get ahead of Sargeant and finish 1.8 sec off Zhou
1st upgrade package is looking like Japan. New front wing and underfloor should help put us ahead of Sauber and maybe alpine

well it's a good thing I didn't spend too much of the upfront sponsor money because hadjar is 🤏 to getting sacked
and we are only on round 2
crash in Q1 takes out both cars, clip is uploading
sorry for distorted audio, recommend muting the clip asap bc it's really bad
end result: both cars completely destroyed
well to the race now I guess
Lap 7: OCO goes for a move on SAR, runs wide, puts both cars in the wall
Lap 10. Full SC ending, Hadjar stays out for track position (on medium to start) and Hauger comes in for Hards
Lap 30- red flag. Albon in the wall at T4, his own unforced error
both drivers onto softs
Lap 34- BOT develops a gearbox fault, quickly drops to the back
Hauger started from the back as his gearbox change was effected by the glitched penalty
After this race, scouts have been hired because Hadjar isn't going to be retained for next season and might be replaced mid season

simming Australia- Hadjar 22nd, Hauger 19th for quali. Hadjar finished 18th, Hauger nabbed 15th

Storm is brewing for Japan quali and race... please keep it out of the wall Hadjar
Going off of practice times (manual FP3] we are now on pace with the Haas and VCARB cars. should be spicy
Red Flag in quali. One of the williams (albon) locks up into zhou at the chicane
less water on track than when quali started so the banker laps already set by yuki and lando are irrelevant
FIRST Q2 OF THE SEASON
Hadjar is p17, getting knocked out by Lance strolls final run. Q1 elims- Zhou, Albon, Alonso, Ocon, Sargeant, Hadjar
FIRST Q3 AS WELL
Hauger knocked out Leclerc on his final run, Q2 elims are Gasly, Hamilton, Russell, Ricciardo, Bottas, Leclerc
one dry lap, sent him out a little too early tbh
Lap 19: Albon reporting severe transmission issues, rapidly dropping from P13
lap 32: Hauger spins
Day to forget. Hauger P17, Hadjar P20
a six second stop for the final intermediate stint and a spin costed Hauger any points
well I can't keep going with this short of starting a complete new save as the Scouting Department is glitched. cannot hire or fire scouts
(On Pause) Manor Racing Returns (Standard/Hard)
I am doing 2 other saves- Lola's rebirth and Honda re-entering F1. both of which will be well documented here
