It has to be Maria. She's the only one driving today, and according to Marussia's twitter, she was about to go out a few minutes ago.

Also, Sky are there, so maybe they caught footage.

I'm concerned about the rumour she hit a stationary vehicle though, that is never good.

I'll keep updated about this one.

edit: Silverstone was the race where Marussia would bring its first major upgrade. Maybe something failed?

Sky just copied the BBC with that.

The whole thing is quite worrying, given the lack of updates from Marussia and anyone there, except for a journalist who said what happened...

you can blame the 'remote' location for that though.
