Official statement SA
As earlier reported the FIA has revoked the Super licence of Yuji Ide. Here follows the official statement of the Super Aguri Formula One Team. The team will keep supporting Ide in the future and will try to find new driving opportunities for Ide.
"The Super Aguri Formula One Team confirms that the Formula One Permanent Bureau has decided to withdraw the 2006 Super Licence of Yuji Ide. Yuji will therefore not be participating in any further official FIA Formula One World Championship events this year.
It is with sadness and regret that the team accepts this decision, however Aguri Suzuki and A.Company (Japan) shall continue to seek driving opportunities for Yuji and hopefully a path back into Formula One.
As a result, Franck Montagny will drive once again for the SAF1 Team at the forthcoming Spanish and Monaco Grands Prix whilst discussions with a number of parties continue regarding the permanent positions of second race seat and third driver within the team."
