Virgin Racing boss, Sir Richard Branson

Things ain’t looking bright so far for team Virgin Racing, as with five races underway, they managed only to complete three races by both their drivers.

There were eight retirements ranging from technical failure, to an embarrassing fuel tank being too small, and unable to complete the race.

But Sir Richard Branson is confident his team just need more time, and is confident that they will bounce back. He says his team will be competing in the F1 for the long-run.

Branson was quoted, “The Virgin team will go all the way to the end of the season and hopefully for many seasons to come.”

It is reported some £300 million will be pumped into the team to improve their chances for the Championship.
