Virgin will use Cosworth engines in their debut season.
Many were great expectations for the new team Virgin. Nick Uirt promised revolution in the design of cars, once boasted that VR-01 has not spent one minute in the wind tunnel. Unfortunately, things did not work as expected Briton. Already in the first race came out general defect in the cars of Virgin - tanks can not hold enough fuel to allow the pilots to finish. The problem was doing well, but the team collapsed its image among critics of professionals in the paddock.

However, Virgin can guarantee the future, if he can win a few points this season
