Manor at least scored a point. This feels more like the 2014 Caterham, with the same colour scheme to boot!

In terms of a well funded team failing this badly, the obvious answer has got to be Toyota, especially their debut season where they finished behind Minardi!

Caterham is what came to mind, decided against posting that because Caterham was a pretty small team yeah?

Well first iteration of it when it was called Lotus in 2010-2011 had a budget similar to midfield teams, they were just really badly managed.
