Aguri returns to Bahrain

This weekend Formula 1 travels to Bahrain for the third round in the F1 world championship. Last year the Bahrain Grand Prix was the opening round of the 2006 championship, the race were the Super Aguri team enjoyed its very first F1 race.

Looking back at the race the team's founder Aguri Suzuki said: "Oh, time flies! If we look back one year, the 2006 Bahrain Grand Prix seems like it was just yesterday. Surely, we must have done very well to be coming back here again!"

While the team hoped to finish its first race last year, this year the team has higher expectations. "In reality, we are small, under-funded, independent team competing in the pinnacle of motorsport against a number of large car manufacturers. But we have to do as much as we can in our current situation and use, to maximum effect, the advantages of being a small, close-knit team. Our objective is still to achieve tenth position in the World Championship, and I believe that this year it is truly possible."
