Marussia has not decided which engine to use for F1’s new turbo regulations in 2014.<\/p>\n
The back-of-the-grid team is currently powered by Cosworth, but there is speculation the independent British engine supplier is set to pull out of the sport.<\/p>\n
When asked about Marussia’s engine plans for 2014, chief executive Andy Webb said: “It’s a difficult decision, because a lot will depend on the financial side.”<\/p>\n
There is great consternation among F1’s ‘customer engine’ teams at present about the likely high cost of buying the new V6 engines.<\/p>\n
“They’re going to cost somewhere between EUR 10 and 25 million,” Webb is quoted by the Russian website Championat.<\/p>\n
“A team like ours will need some help in order to afford something like that.”<\/p>\n
Webb also revealed that, starting next year, Marussia has decided to use KERS for the first time.<\/p>\n
“The only question is whose system we will have,” he said.\u00a0 “It depends on what engine we choose for the future.”<\/p>\n
