Marussia to race one car out of respect for Bianchi

Marussia will race with only one car in Sunday's Russian Formula One Grand Prix out of respect for injured French driver Jules Bianchi, the team said on Friday.

Bianchi remains in a critical but stable condition in a Japanese hospital after he crashed into a recovery tractor at Suzuka during last Sunday's Japanese Grand Prix.

"The team have written to the stewards of the meeting to inform them that they have withdrawn their second car," Marussia said in a statement.
