Marussia driver Jules Bianchi says that the team must start to consistently challenge Sauber, if they are to show that their progress is genuine. Bianchi scored his and Marussia's maiden points at the Monaco Grand Prix after finishing in ninth place, a result which moves Marussia into ninth in the constructors' championship, ahead of Sauber and Caterham. An optimistic Bianchi says that battling Sauber, which Marussia has done on occasion in 2014, must be their aim every race. "I’m very excited for this weekend," he […]

Jules Bianchi finished in ninth place at last weekend's Monaco Grand Prix to record the team's first points in over four years of Formula 1 competition.

Booth's team have yet to score a point in their Formula 1 history but he is confident that the Ferrari-powered MR03 can move them up the grid.
