Super Aguri starts legal action against SS United
The Super Aguri Formula One Team has begun legal proceedings against their main sponsor SS United. After the first sponsorship installment was made by SS United, the Japanese team didn't recieve any more of the scheduled payments.
Daniel Audetto declared to autosport.com: "We gave them a deadline of July, so now we have to start legal action. We had a contract. They made the first payment, they had the publicity, so they are definitely at fault and liable.
"Originally we had all the income from SS United in the budget, and we should have spent it on more development and more testing. So when we understand that SS United was late, we start to reduce all the costs so we can finish the season and break even. What is important is that we finish the season, pay all our creditors and suppliers and we have a strong position for next year.
"Because of the four points we have, and how competitive and reliable the top teams are, I hope that without any foreseeable disasters like weather or massive accidents, our direct competitors, namely Toro Rosso and Spyker, will not score more than four points.
"That is why we can reduce the costs, pay off the debts, break even and be strong for next year."
