The grid in Istanbul, and for the rest of season, will consist of twenty drivers, as Super Aguri announced their immediate withdrawal from the sport.
Super Aguri have been struggling for funds all season and it’s looked bleak since the proposed takeover by the Magma group broke down last month.
Team founder Aguri Suzuki said: “The loss of financial backing put the team into financial difficulties. With the help of Honda, we somehow managed to keep the team going, but we find it difficult to establish a way to continue the activities in the future.”
It now means Takuma Sato and Anthony Davidson are without a drive, and they need another team to take them on as test drivers.
It makes you wonder if there’s too much money in Formula 1 thesedays. Will we see twenty cars again next season, or will another team try their arm?
