Button ran the London Marathon

Jenson Button, a McLarn racer, broke his personal record in the London Marathon in the 42-kilometer distance when he crossed the finish line in 2:55:30. The Briton, who is otherwise an avid competitor in marathons and triathlons, competed for Cancer Research UK and at the same time with the desire to improve his previous result 2:58. The run was also his first on the streets of his home capital. Time under three hours is considered an excellent achievement, as evidenced by his ranking - among thirty-seven thousand runners, he ranked nine hundred and eighteenth. On the course, however, he battled rowing champion James Cracknell, who ran to the finish line just before him. At the end of the test, Button told the BBC: "The most interesting thing is that I did a lot of training, but everything is ahead of me.

Marussia ready for Melbourne

formula 1

At Marussia, they are ready to appear in Melbourne and take part in the first race of this season next weekend. They say they will use an intermediate version of the car, working with them to comply with all the rules in 2015, and later they will present the car they designed last year (we already wrote about it and posted pictures on this link.) John Booth will continue to work at the helm of the team, Graeme Lowdon will be president and athletic director, Justin King will be seen as interim executive chairman, and businessman Stephen Fitzpatrick is the investor who financially supported the team.

Marussia has not yet given up

formula 1

The Marussia F1 Team has yet to give up on the possibility of returning to the top class of motorsport, although other teams have voted against the proposal to compete in last season’s race car. The team nonetheless says their plan to return from bankruptcy, scheduled for Feb. 19, and re-run is perfectly feasible. Sports director Graeme Lowdon said: "We are doing everything we can to ensure a comeback, which would be fantastic news for the whole sport. We want to race." The strategic group of Formula 1, which includes Mercedes, Red Bull, Williams, Ferrari, McLaren and Force India, as well as the FIA and owners with commercial rights, has therefore voted against the possibility of using the old car.

The team was supposed to put in a tremendous amount of effort to travel to the final race, but plans collapsed at the last minute. Lowdon finds it important to continue working on the program for next year to be prepared if they manage to solve their problems. "We came very, very close to find a solution. As a racing team, we always want to race, that was also our goal for Abu Dhabi. We have different plans, but the most important is to be among the Formula 1 teams next year. That's why we need to have a race car ready, as this is of interest to potential investors, they need to know that they can
