Manor

Manor was, let's face the truth, a backmarker in the first season.
==Season 1==
At the start, Manor could have been proud of their Ferrari deal, however went for the awful Bridgestone tyres. They could also have been proud of how reliable they made their car. However, in the actual races it turned out to be exactly the opposite of reliable, and very slow. Team boss Joel Rautavaara abandoned the project after the fourth race which caused the team to miss the Monacan GP, their home race. One race later and a new manager was found, in the form of Arrows Grand Prix International. Rautavaara was returned to the pit wall and in co-operation with Arrows manager Milos Ancevski, scored a grand total of 4 points over the course of the season. Suprisingly though, it was pay-driver Alexander Wurz who scored them, and not the, usually superior driver, Ralf Schumacher, who often faced reliability or backmarker issues when running in promising points positions. 
Manor was the final classified team in that year's championship standings.
==Season 2==
Arrows Grand Prix International took it over full time after Joel Rautavaara permanently abandoned the project and sold his team for a staggering $1.25 (which was quite an achievement looking at how bad the team was). With the team now fully in control of Milos Ancevski, he used the incredibly reliability of the Manor, and decided to combine it with the revolutionary prototype 8 speed gearbox, by covering the poor reliability of the gearbox with the good reliability of the Manor. Manor was the only team to use the 8 speed gearbox that season.
Milos was heard later commenting on his decision.
 Looking at season 1, we retired way more than we should have. If we're going to 
 retire all the time it'd be a smarter idea to just use those races when we 
 don't to get some decent points aswell.
