I was told by a friend that Super Aguri wants to bring back Ide to F1 and they are working hard training him and working with FIA in getting him reinstated. I was also told by another source that he's made progress and will be in F1 in 2008.

The friend and the source has known to be unreliable (and gotten me in trouble in the past)

This time I'll consult the forum Can someone shed some light on this racer?

Well, he still racing under Aguri team at the moment, so there is a link but he didn't do well on his first time and hasn't actually been great in any series he has been part of. so I don't know why they wanted him back, tt's a bit shame if they only want to have all Japanese team as there is other much better drivers out there. Anthony Davidson beats him anytime.

I think Sakon Yamamoto is also a better driver than Ide. I'm also confused at why Aguri really wants Ide back in F1. There are more capable japanese drivers out there

Never understood why they had Sakon in the Spyker instead of Winklehock.. thats the noobie mistake of a lifetime..
