Super Aguri already target a win in 2008

"We plan to win our first Grand Prix next year," he said in an interview with paddock newspaper the Red Bulletin on Friday. "We will have our best chance then. I shall explain.

"Next year, you have new rules to reduce costs. Super Aguri lack first-class material, but we have the right number of people in our team - 150 to 200.

"The big teams, with 1000 people, will have big organizational struggles to reduce. We already know how we run by extracting the maximum.

"So, next year, we will have another season's experience, the same technology as the top teams, the right number of people, operating from a budget that is the standard for the future. With good drivers and a bit of a chance, we can win a race."

Audetto claims that complaints from rival team Spyker about their use of a 'customer car' do not worry him - as he is adamant that they are doing nothing wrong.

"We are already the big surprise this year, so now we have enemies who are protesting against us," he said.

"In the Piranha Club, they kill the small fish before he's too big. We're becoming big so fast, we scare people and they are trying to kill us. But they will not.

"We consult with the FIA, with lawyers, with Honda, what we do is completely legal.

"It is a compliment for us that they attack us. If you are a 'good boy' in the eyes of the Piranha Club, you are a loser. If you are a 'bastard', you have a chance."
