Super Aguri to miss Barcelona test
The Super Aguri Formula One team have announced they will miss this week's test at Barcelona due to circumstances beyond their control
The Japanese squad had originally planned to unveil their new car at the Spanish circuit tomorrow, but those plans were delayed and replaced with a press interview with team principal Aguri Suzuki and technical director Mark Preston during a normal testing day with their hybrid car.
However, the team said on Monday that they will be absent from the Barcelona test, but will return to action next week with two cars.
"Super Aguri F1 Team will not be participating at the test in Barcelona this week due to circumstances beyond our control," said the team in a statement.
"We are planning to attend the test at the Circuit de Catalunya next week with two cars. We would like to apologise to our colleagues in the media who had made arrangements to attend our Q&A tomorrow."
The team have faced an uncertain few weeks due to financial difficulties curtailing their pre-season programme.
