The Marussia MR02[4] is a Formula One racing car designed under the leadership of Marussia's Technical Director Pat Symonds.[1] It made its competitive debut in the 2013 Formula One season where it was driven by debutant drivers Max Chilton and Jules Bianchi,[7][8] who replaced Luiz Razia, the team's original choice for the seat.[9] The car was launched at the Circuito de Jerez on 5 February, making the MR02 the first car that Marussia (and its predecessor Virgin Racing) has completed in time to start winter testing.[1][10] As of the 2024 Formula One season, the Marussia MR02 is the last F1 car to be powered by an engine designed by Cosworth.
