Graeme Lowdon thanks Marussia fans

Graeme Lowdon thanks Marussia fans for their support following the team's collapse.

Former Marussia boss Graeme Lowdon has thanked fans for their support after his team ceased trading due to failing to attract new investors.

The Banbury-based constructor, which scored its first points thanks to Jules Bianchi's ninth-place finish in Monaco, was formally wound up with the loss of 200 jobs on Friday.

Lowdon took to Twitter after a "difficult few months" to pay tribute to Formula 1 fanatics and the sport itself.

He tweeted: "I just want to say a sincere thank you for all your messages of support. They're very much appreciated.

"F1 is the greatest team sport in the world and I'm proud to have worked with a great team of racers. Thanks."

Meanwhile, Caterham are hoping to continue racing after launching a £2.35m crowd-funding scheme with the aim of competing at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
