Super Aguri set for new season
Super Aguri are all set to start the new Formula One season, even though there has been no official news on if they have resolved their financial difficulties
The Honda-backed team were forced to miss several test sessions because of money problems, and team boss Aguri Suzuki flew to Japan last month to seek fresh investors to help secure his outfit's future.
Although there had been concerns that the team could be forced out of F1 if the matter was not sorted, confirmation of their continuance came when the team's freight began arriving in Melbourne on Sunday - with the cars due to follow in the next 24 hours.
The presence of Super Aguri's equipment in the pitlane makes it almost certain that the team will start the season - even though they have not yet tested their new car or even officially confirmed either driver.
The names of Takuma Sato and Anthony Davidson are written above their pit garages in the Melbourne pitlane, although the team could in theory change their drivers up until the eve of practice.
