F1 TEAM
Aguri Suzuki and the SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM are pleased to confirm
their continued relationship with Japanese driver Sakon Yamamoto
who will take on the position of second test driver in 2007.

In his new role Sakon will be supporting SAF1 Team race drivers
Takuma Sato and Anthony Davidson in addition to newly appointed
test and reserve driver Giedo van der Garde.
Sakon Yamamoto
“It is great news that I am able to stay in Formula
One with SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM in 2007 and would like to thank
everyone who has supported me, especially Aguri-san. I will
try to do my best in my new role and give the team good support
from my time in the car next year.”
Aguri Suzuki
“I am very happy that Sakon will remain a member of
the SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM family next season. We will help him
to secure a race seat in another category for 2007 and I am
confident that his experience gained from Formula One racing
this year will help him achieve this goal.”
