Article name[edit]

Points for speed of the merger, but since Manor Grand Prix is not yet operational, (and indeed if rumours relating to Virgin are correct will not even be the team name in an operational capacity) and Manor Motorsport is, should the merger actually have occurred the other way around? With Manor Motorsport as the article name pending the final appearance of Manor Grand Prix's identity? --Falcadore (talk) 08:22, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, the article should be Manor Motorsport with a sub section detailing the Grand prix operation.--Paste _{Let’s have a chat.} 08:23, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So what's going on now? Manor Motorsport should at least have a seperate article detailling their F3 efforts.--MartinUK (talk) 12:26, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

None of the other Formula One teams do. The previous Manor Motorsport article was absorbed into this one, no information was deleted, Manor have just been treated the same as any other team that move into F1. --Falcadore (talk) 12:55, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article name (2011)[edit]

Fomenko (Marussia co-owner/CEO and Marussia Racing engineering director) clearly states - despite common mistake Marussia is name, Virgin is title sponsor. [1] (20:18 - 25:00) Elk Salmon (talk) 15:54, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The constructor is Virgin. Until it changes, the article won't be moved or renamed. Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:12, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fomenko (Marussia co-owner/CEO and Marussia Racing engineering director) clearly states - it's a common mistake. Marussia is name, Virgin is title sponsor. Elk Salmon (talk) 06:02, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I understood you the first time. The constructor is Virgin, the FIA is clear on that - that is not a mistake, common or otherwise. While the constructor is Virgin, the article will not be moved to anything else, because Virgin is the WP:COMMON NAME of the team. Bretonbanquet (talk) 18:55, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Virgin does not meet WP:COMMON NAME. It has limited popularity. Here, for example, everyone say Marussia, not Virgin. Elk Salmon (talk) 22:34, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be willing to bet that you're in Russia - of course people call it Marussia there, but they call it Virgin everywhere else. Anyway, they're changing the constructor name imminently, so the article will be moved as soon as we have a source to say the name has officially changed. Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:41, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here you go: http://adamcooperf1.com/2011/11/03/caterham-lotus-and-marussia-name-changes-approved/

The team will be known as Marussia worldwide in 2012. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 23:52, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Absorbation from Manor GP to Manor Motorsport[edit]

I've tried to connect the two teams together with a couple paragraphs in the lead as the F3 stuff got shoved down. -- Guroadrunner (talk) 07:51, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Drivers[edit]

The second driver will be Lucas Di Grassi, supporting evidence : http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8363770.stm . But every time it change it it gets changed back!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.213.177.90 (talk) 19:37, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately the team has not yet confirmed this. - mspete93 [talk] 20:19, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Logo[edit]

There's already a logo for Virgin Racing, can someone upload it? Fsarmony (talk) 13:54, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Logo can be found here - oahiyeel ^talk 16:41, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hyperlinks in Bases:[edit]

It is helpful to the reader to be able to locate geographic locations related to the article through hyperlinks. There is also precedent for doing so on F1 team pages, such as Mclaren and Renault. Indeed, some team pages, such as Scuderia Ferrari and Haas F1 have hyperlinks on all geographic subsets mentioned. We should be aiming for greater consistency in these Wikipedia articles of similar nature, and as such they should all be using similar formatting. --FactualCollector7d1 (talk) 17:34, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
