Honda's Nick Fry backs Japan's Super Aguri
Honda team principal Nick Fry says Japan's Super Aguri outfit have a "better than evens" chance of racing in Formula One 2006.
Super Aguri, for whom Honda would supply engines, had their initial bid
to enter the competition rejected by motorsport's governing body, the
FIA.
But team boss Aguri Suzuki is set to re-apply and Nick Fry said: "I think it will be good to have an extra team.
"I think there is a better than evens chance they will be on the grid."
If Suzuki does apply again he will require unanimous approval from
rival teams if his team are to be on the grid in Bahrain for the
opening race of the season.
Honda are believed to be part-funding the project - and Nick Fry added:
"They'll have a good engine - the same engine as our Honda team.
"They've got a lot of work to do but they are progressing well from what we can see.
"There are three months to go (before Bahrain) and all 10 teams have got to sign up so there's an issue there.
"In terms of physically being able to get on the grid, I think they've got a good chance."
