Caterham slam 'rumours', will race in Japan

Caterham

The struggling Formula One team, who have never won a point, condemned the reports as "unfounded and unsubstantiated rumours".

"There have been unfounded and unsubstantiated rumours concerning actions against 1MRT, the entrant and owner of CaterhamF1," the team said in a statement.

"An action was threatened yesterday against a supplier company to 1MRT. This company is not owned by 1MRT and it has no influence over the entry of CaterhamF1 or the entrant.

"Also contrary to uncontrolled rumours, all operations are currently in place at Leafield and the race team is doing its preparation in Japan."

Caterham face an uncertain future after being sold to a group of investors in July.

The Sheriff's Office had published a list of goods it claimed belonged to Caterham, including the team's 2013 test car and parts "due for Japan 2014".
