Manor is what was rebranded Virgin, before becoming Marussia and eventually went out of business. Officially their entry has now lapsed and certainly Sauber are pressing very hard for their share of Marussia's prize money. Even if Marussia are able to re-enter it will be with a new entry and, as a result, it's not clear that they would be due any prize money from this season.

Personally I think they had a smaller operating budget than any other team, missed three races and still beat two teams so they should be rewarded accordingly, but reading between the lines I think they are, sadly, done.

Caterham appear to have a slightly better chance, but it still doesn't look good. Kobayashi has moved on to another series as well.
