    Suger Aguri said that they would have their new car for the British GP, but I that never happened. Do you think this will bring any major change to the Super Aguri performance?

    It's just a little updated version of the Arrows car, lol! Not entirely new, which is what I first thought. I guess now they'll just be competing with the Midlands, not even the STRs.

    Midlands were surprisingly fast at Indy. Hard to beleive though that Midland is the former Jordan team...a team fighting for the championship in 1999.

    Too bad he had a transmission problems and Tiago was hit by Mr. Kamikaze. I could've been interesting to see if they can beat struggling Williams.

    I think Midland is on a right track - it takes time to turn the team around if you don't start with Sauber and have deep pockets of BMW.

    Did they buy the 2002 Ferrari F1 from the Clienti Corse program?

    That just might be the case. If that's true, they should call it the "Super Azzuri."

    At least Yuji Ide wasn't out there.

    BTW Aguri Suzuki is still trying to get Yuji back into racing in F1. :eek:

    Ide is back in Formula Nippon. All Aguri says is that: "I am confident that his experiences gained in the Formula One category will help him in the future" -(doesn't indicate where that future is!)

    Former Super Aguri F1 driver Yuji Ide will race in the remaining six events of the Formula Nippon championship.

    Ide, who made his Grand Prix debut with the new Super Aguri team this season, was replaced by Frenchman Franck Montagny after the FIA revoked the Japanese driver's superlicence following a series of shaky performances.

    "I have been considering my options over the last few weeks and have decided to compete in the Formula Nippon category once again," said Ide.

    "I am grateful to DoCoMo Team Dandelion Racing for giving me this opportunity half-way through the season. I have not yet given up hope on returning to Formula One, but for now what I need to do is to concentrate on the races that lie ahead and perform well.

    "I apologise to all my fans who have been worried for me and I hope that they continue to support me in the future."

    Ide, who had finished second in the Formula Nippon championship in 2005, will be competing this weekend at the Suzuka circuit.

    "I am happy that Yuji Ide is able to compete in the Japanese Championship Formula Nippon once again," said Super Aguri boss Aguri Suzuki.

    "Although it was only for four races, I am confident that his experiences gained in the Formula One category will help him in the future. I appreciate that DoCoMo Team Dandelion Racing has seen Yuji's capabilities and given him a seat in their team."

    Yeah. I heard that, too. I also heard that Super Aguri wants him to do a LOT more testing(with super aguri) and then try to get back into racing in F1 sometime.
