Super Aguri not getting Honda help

Team boss Nick Fry says the Honda team are focusing their efforts in their own team and not helping the Super Aguri squad much

Honda have agreed to provide engines to the Japanese team, whose bid to enter the 2006 Championship is still up in the air, with the FIA yet to confirm if the outfit will be allowed to race or not.

Super Aguri are facing a race against time to make it to the grid in Bahrain in 45 days.

"Not (helping) much at the moment is the truthful answer," said Fry when asked how much help were Honda giving to Super Aguri.

"They share an engine obviously, clearly we have had some conversation but at the moment we are focused on what we need to do which is to do the best that we possibly can and we cannot have massive diversion from that, so our noses are firmly to this grindstone."

Super Aguri are yet to announce their drivers for the season, and although one seat is expected to go to Japanese Takuma Sato, there has been a lot of speculation about the second driver.

Honda's test driver Anthony Davidson was linked with the seat, and although Fry said the Briton is committed to Honda, the team could be open to talks with Super Aguri is they needed him.

"He is fully committed for this year and that is the agreement," said Fry.

"If under that circumstance because it is a fellow Honda team we would have more conversation than we would with another team, but at the moment Anthony is signed up to be our third driver and we are very pleased about that because as I say the three of them is a good group."
