Nick Fry not optimistic on Super Aguri survival 

Honda Racing Chief Executive Nick Fry said earlier today that he’s not optimistic that Super Aguri’s financial situation could lead to a happy ending for Aguri Suzuki’s team. “We’ve been working as hard as we possibly can to find a solution for Aguri, but at this stage I’m not overly optimistic,” Fry was quoted as saying to Reuters news agency.

“Honda in my opinion have done the maximum possible to support the Super Aguri team,” he added.

“It was never Honda’s intention to fully fund two Formula 1 teams but Honda have been incredibly supportive over the last two years of Super Aguri. But they do need to find funding of their own.”

“We have been engaged almost full time in the last few weeks trying to find a solution and I hope that it’s going to be a happy ending to the story, but at this stage that certainly can’t be guaranteed.”
