Speaking about the difficult decision team boss Aguri Suzuki had to make he said at a press conference in Tokyo: "In order to realize my dream to become an owner of a Formula One Team, I applied for a grid position in the FIA Formula One World Championship in November 2005. Since then, I have participated in the championship for 2 years and 4 months as the Super Aguri F1 team, but regretfully I must inform you that the team will be ceasing its racing activities as of today."
