Its a sad day for F1, easily one of the most exiting teams on the grid. The one moment i think the team will be best remmbered from would be the canadian GP '07 when Sato passed Alonso with a much inferior car.
Not surprised. Well, a little surprised they lasted more than a year. But I wasn't expecting any team that exists solely to keep a mediocre Japanese racing driver in F1 to last very long.
They won't be missed. Hopefully a sensible team that builds their own cars and actually employs drivers based on their skill rather than to keep some fans happy (Tony will get a drive elsewhere I'm sure).
it sad to see such a great team to leave F1 after what they have achieved last year. and to me SA is prob one of the best team on the grid in terms of racing spirits.
Hope Sato and A.Davidson can find another race seat next year. actually i wouldnt be surprise if Toyota would pick Sato up to replace Trulli.
but yeah Davidson deserves a better car to show his talent. all he needs is luck. prob the most important factor as a driver in F1
Super Aguri were phenomenal despite their pea-sized budget. Very sad to see a giant-killer leaving F1.
As for Takuma Sato, he's no worse than half the F1 grid; same with Anthony Davidson. They'll both manage to find some good drives in the future, even if they leave F1 forever. No one can ignore "Formula One" in someone's racing CV!
i rate Davidson pretty high. he could have score a point or two last year in canada if he didnt hit an animal.
about Sato, he is quick and i dont think he is that car wrecker anymore. he has grown up alot and im sure they wont be any slower than Glock or Fisi.
I think that it is Honda want to kill Super Aguri
Honda said Super Aguri should make money by themselves
now, the can do it, but Honda don't let them to take the money...
And it is not likely that a Honda driver can suddenly switch to Toyota, they both have their own driver training programme and there's a strong sense of loyalty.
Im sorry mate but would you do any better in your first season of F1? Not everyone is a Lewis Hamilton warm upto him it takes time the entire season is not decided within the first 4 races.
stupid bloody ecclestone!!! :mad:. I mean, seriously, he's asking for way too much money from teams now. I remember Eddie Jordan saying that Ron Dennis said back in '97 that he would need something like $70 million to be a competitive team to fight for the world championship and that, at the current time of the interview (which I think was '04), he said he's struggling with well over a $100 million, struggling!
I'm really sad to see Super Aguri go as they were a really cool team and gave us some very exciting racing.
