The Marusia/Sauber rumor sounds more like Marusia shuting down the F1 operation and sponsoring Sauber in order to get some results.

Sounds like the name of an English village...

I don't quite see what the parties gain from a merger. Higher income? Perhaps, but doubtful - and they will loose Bernie-money combined. Lower costs? Nope, and higher salary and overhead in the translation-fase will increase costs. Better use of fascilities? I guess neither parties have all that great design-offices or factories, but there could be something there. All in all there can be some benefits, but they seem rather marginal compared to the financial difficulties of small F1-teams.

Most of these merger rumours are simply conflated articles from rubbish sites. Granted teams are struggling but the business of a merger only works if teams have viable assets NOT large debts. Teams are more likely to fold than merger.
