MELBOURNE, Australia - The struggling Manor Marussia Formula 1 team will skip the season-opening 2015 Australian GP after failing to make it onto the Melbourne track for qualifying.
The team struggled just to get its cars to Albert Park for the opening race but were unable to get either of them on the circuit due to a computer software problem.
The team sat out Friday's (March 13) two practice sessions as well as Saturday's final warm-up and the official qualifying session, making them ineligible for Sunday's (March 15) race.
