The entry list for the maiden Russian Grand Prix shows that Marussia Formula 1 Team may finally run two cars this weekend.

The list issued Thursday by the FIA shows Marussia to run cars for Max Chilton and American Alexander Rossi.

Rossi is listed as driving car No. 42 (while Jules Bianchi was driving car No. 17).

However, Autosport claims that Marussia will decide on Friday morning if it will race with two cars at Russian GP, despite nominating Rossi.

The list also shows that two reserve drivers will be running in free practice 1 Friday morning.

Sauber will run car No. 37 for rookie Russian Sergey Sirotkin, and Caterham will run Spaniard Roberto Merhi in the No. 45 car.
