...And Past It They Go.

Well that didn’t take long. After having their trucks barred from entering the paddock, Aguri Suzuki announced today that the team would shut up shop. Hardly surprising for the team trying to be the little team that could.

Three years is a short lifespan for a team, but to their credit Super Aguri made a mark in the sport. The 2007 saw the team humble their works counterparts during the early part of the season that eventually saw the team score points. The Japanese team finished ninth in the constructors table.
Aguri gave a rightfully deserved parting shot to Honda team boss Nick Fry. As I stated earlier, Fry had no right sticking his nose into the affair. It was between the Honda company and Aguri.

What next for Sato and Davidson?

Taku is likely to find some capacity with Honda. They sanctioned Super Aguri for him after he was ousted from the main squad. Perhaps a move for the Honda backed IRL series is a second option for the driver. I would be surprised to see him on the grid again. While he has raw pace within him, he is too erratic for a team to take a gamble on.
As for Davidson, to be honest I have never been as impressed with him as the ITV commentary team. While he has began to beat Sato consistently, he failed to take advantage of the early part of the 2007 season when the car was capable of nicking a point.
Nick Fry is likely to have a place for him in the short-term given that he is a big fan of the Brit. Fry even went as far to say that Aguri had no choice but to use him this year when other names were been mentioned with the second seat. Should Barrichello decide to retire at the end of the year it could provide Davidson with a final chance at Formula One.
