Marussia boss: 'We will be on F1 grid'

Formula 1 team Marussia have stated that they will be on the grid for the 2014 season, despite being listed "subject to confirmation" on the official entry list.

The FIA confirmed this year's participants on Friday and, while the constructor have confirmed their drivers for the upcoming campaign, the team is not listed as competing, but boss Graeme Lowdon is sure the team will be racing.

He told Autosport: "That will disappear in the next few days. It's purely a timing and administrative thing. No concerns over it at all.

"We plan to be at Jerez. There is nothing stopping it at the moment."

The season opens with the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on March 16.
