Takuma Sato has literally begun pleading with Honda to put up funding, or allow access to Weigl to take Super Aguri team over, so he can keep on racing.
The Japanese driver used to race for Honda, and now he has begun criticising their “Racing Spirit” because they won’t put up the funding.
Honda have blocked the deal with Weigl group, claiming they “Did not possess the resources to keep a formula one team going for an entire season”. That is something disagreed with by Weigl, and Sato in this interview published on his official website.
“Obviously Honda has always been central to the whole Super Aguri team,” Sato said in an interview on his official website.
“We have always worked so closely together and I understand that they are in a difficult position right now due to DIC (Dubai International Capital) letting everyone down at the last minute, but I hope they will be able to continue the fighting spirit and give the team some more time to get the new investment in place.
“We have showed over the past two years how efficient we can be as a very little team and given the chance and support I believe we can be very competitive.”
“We need Honda support more than ever now and I am just hoping that they will be able to find a satisfactory solution. Honda are famous for their ‘Racing Spirit’ and I am sure this will not desert them now.”
