Super Aguri F1 Team, where are you?
Its all gone rather quiet on the seafront regarding Super Aguri, am I right in suggesting that the fire no longer burns bright for this team?
Anyone know what is happening? |

I was starting to wonder too.
They do say no news is good news though, right..? |

The fact that Honda announced Davidson as their main test driver, thus leaving Sato out in the cold if Super Aguri doesn't happen, suggests that they are confident that it will.

Yuji Ide had a seat fitting at Super Aguri HQ today, so he looks set to be one of their driver I'm guessing.

I look forward to seeing them on track, even if the cars are slow. I would love to see a full grid of 24 cars again, and this is a good step in the right direction. Perhaps in the new Concorde era post 2007, there might be a possibility for even more than that. Although I don't know if it would be good to get back to the days of pre-qualifying (then again it does provide more on-track action for spectators - but I am heading off topic here...) |

From the not too distant past of the F1 forum, for a discussion on grid sizes, check out This Magnificent Thread of Indescribable Brilliance. .
....what?............. ********* Anyway, back OnT. I am not sure I agree with the idea that no news is good news. It could be, but it might not. Although more cars is great, would it perhaps not be better to wait for 2007 and have an outfit properly prepared from the outset? I'd expect we will see them on the grid in some form, but exactly what form I wouldn't like to guess..... |

Hmm, I think Paul Stoddart has spent too long in the sun...

The same Paul Stoddart that predicted Minardi would score 10 or 11 points in 2003. They scored 0.

The longer the delay in announcing whether the team will actually be on the grid or not means that they have less time to prepare the cars. If they are very slow then waiting a year would be a sensible option. But I suppose a battle between Midland and Super Aguri would be interesting...
