Suzuki expects difficult start
Super Aguri boss Aguri Suzuki is under no illusions about the difficult task his Formula One team will face this year
British-based Super Aguri will be Formula One's 11th team on the starting grid in 2006 after securing a last-minute entry. The team will use cars based on old Arrows chassis before they introduce their own car later in the season.
Super Aguri will only start testing their car this week, joining the majority of their rivals at the Barcelona circuit. The season kicks off in Bahrain in less than three weeks.
With that in mind, Suzuki is predicting a difficult start for the team.
"Since we launched the team in a short period, assorted problems are rising and there are many things that should be solved," Suzuki told reporters in a joint news conference with the Honda team.
"I'm afraid that we will be in a fairly tough position at the beginning. My objective this year is to make our team competitive as a Formula One team."
Super Aguri, who will be powered by Honda engines this year, will have Takuma Sato and Yuji Ide as their drivers.
