SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM CELEBRATES FURTHER MILESTONE
Fledgling SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM is celebrating its second milestone,
albeit an unexpected one. Official F1 statistics show that
Takuma Sato and the SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM completed more laps,
and therefore greater distance, than any other team during
the first three race weekends of the 2006 FIA Formula One™
World Championship thanks to the reliability of the team's
chassis and engines.
Despite only taking one chequered flag in three race starts,
rookie SAF1 Team driver Yuji Ide reached an impressive eighth
place out of 22 in the total distance table.

Aguri Suzuki, Team Principal, SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM
"I am very proud of what the team has been able to achieve
so far. For us to compete in Bahrain for the first race of
the season was beyond many people's expectations and we were
able to reach this goal. Now for us to have completed more
laps than any other team over the first three race weekends
is incredible. I would like to thank Takuma for his solid
driving and expertise, as well as the whole SUPER AGURI F1
TEAM for their great teamwork and determination in facing
this challenge. We must also thank our partners at Honda for
the reliability of our engines and our colleagues at Bridgestone.
We will now concentrate on the coming rounds of the championship
and on reaching our next goal as soon as possible."
