Super Aguri could miss Spanish Grand Prix
18 April 2008The Super Aguri Formula 1 team might not be able to attend next week's Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona after the team's potential buyer did not wish to continue its purchase of the Japanese team.
"It's possible," Super Aguri co-owner Fumio Akita told Reuters. "We were banking on Magma's buyout but they turned it down. It feels like being jilted by a lover. Even if we have the money to go to Spain we might not be able to carry on after that. It's impossible to predict what will happen but it could now depend on Honda."
The Japanese team already had to skip this week's official four-day test at Circuit de Catalunya to save its budget. The team is now waiting in the factory before it will travel to Spain for the first European race of the 2008 Formula 1 season. "I don't think there will be a decision until after the weekend," Akita said. "It is likely to be Monday or Tuesday until we hear. It will be very, very tight."
