Nick's had enough

The future of Super Aguri is looking grimmer by the minute. Over the past week the Japanese squad has been in talks with the Weigl Group and everything seemed to be going to plan. All that was needed was the approval of Honda. Unfortunately that's when things stated to go wrong. Nick Fry didn't seem to approve of the deal saying "It would appear unlikely that a company the size of Weigl is able to support a competitive Formula One team, unless of course there are other partners of which we have not been made aware." Super Aguri, however, seemed optimistic that Honda would approve the German company's deal and sent their trucks and motorhome to Istanbul. When they arrived they had quite a surprise. The team was denied access to the paddock and were left waiting outside the track for further information. The reason for the refusal of entry was Formula One Management had been informed that Super Aguri would not be racing. The FOM had been informed by Honda CEO, Nick Fry who made it clear that his team could not longer support Super Aguri saying "We tried to help as much as possible and Honda never intended to fund two F1 teams. We've gone way beyond what was ever originally anticipated." Clearly this is the end of Honda's involvement in Aguri Suzuka's team and it looks increasingly lightly that nobody is interested in buying the team. Aguri will be meeting the Honda board tomorrow where it looks likely the team will announce their withdrawal from the sport.
