Honda 'disappointed', Suzuki slams Fry.

Honda 'disappointed', Suzuki slams Fry.

Honda has claimed to be 'disappointed' by Aguri Suzuki's decision to pull the plug on his ailing Super Aguri F1 team, but admitted that it was inevitable given the operation's current circumstances.

Nick Fry is clearly the snake in the Honda grass, not content with a shoddy operation in Brackley and being undermined many times by the lesser funded Super Aguri, he has now played an active and decisive part in it's downfall.

Fry is sadly the mouthpiece for the Honda Corporation but there is no doubt that he has been instrumental in advising Honda to concentrate on their 'works' effort as opposed to dilute any budget with Super Aguri.

By rights, Fry shouldn't even be in charge after the fiasco that was their 'earth dream' boll-ocks last year, if Super Aguri staff were running the show in Brackley they'd be fighting with BMW and Renault not languishing in the doldrums.

I agree totally. Fry is extremely fortunate to still have a job. Ross Brawn, given the staff from Leafield to inject some serious oomph into Brackley, could make great leaps forward. Everyone at SA has a real fire in their belly, whereas its been quite clear that Hondas works team has drifted along pretty much since 2004 trying to figure out why that car was so good.

Maybe thats the plan - pull the plug on SA and then go fishing in the suddenly crowded Oxfordshire F1 engineer market.

Nick Fry has nothing better to do but criticize this great little team that brought so much hope and enjoyment into F1. They were one of my favorite teams simply be cse they were such underdogs. Now Fry and Honda will be all alone at the back where they truly belong.

It's such a pity that Mosely has not had the decency to resign, what company is going to put millions of $ of sponsorship in to a sport with the Mosely spectacle hanging over it!
Mosely should shoulder much of the blame for the loss of SAF1!
Other teams could have finance problems if sponsorship deals come to and end with Mosely still around,

Finally we all agree in one subject!

"Nick is Fried" was the one who pulled the plug from SA F1, and I bet it was because of the performance of the late little SA Team...

I will remember for a long time the great pass that Sato put on Alonso in Canada... I bet that pass was celebrated around the world!

I was no fan of SA, but it had my simpathy and often surprised the stablishment.

I always thought Nick Fry was a ******* weasel, now I have a real reason to dislike him. He has obviously done nothing for Honda. If Honda will turn around its fortunes, it will be because of Brawn, not Nick "Small" Fry. Give yourself an uppercut Nick!

It's a sad state of affairs when another team falls by the wayside in F1. After just 2 seasons as well in which they made outstanding progress. I think F1 needs to take a long hard look at itself at the moment because it is doing a lot wrong.

The wrong people are in charge (Mosely, Fry), the big companies practically untouchable (Ferrari, McLaren), teams are forced to pull out (Aguri), they can't agree on one thing for more than 5 minutes (customer cars)...

Someone needs to take overall charge, force changes that WE as fans want, not what teams come up with, disagree with, revise, revise again and end up with something that's not effective and just as expensive. Grrr, rant over!

I told you guys Nick Fry is a Snake... I commented on that from articles I read and what he stated on the news, not judging him without a prove... I know it will end like this for Aguri. I like this team because of their SPIRIT. they fight even they know they are just a minnow... Nick Fry (Chicken) someday will be 'fried' by Honda. What you do, it will coming back to you...

Im realy am gutted for all staff at SA. Also, we are now back down to a smaller grid which obviously means even less racing at a GP. Interesting comments about Dave Richards. Its a shame he couldnt have got together somehow with SA and merged a Prodrive/Aguri partnership. Nick Fry in my oppinion has allowed too many weak times at Honda to continue. Hopefully, with the arrival of Ross Brawn, his position within Honda will be high lighted for what it is and allways has been. Failed.

nice idea Steve T but an amalgamation between Prodrive /Aguri couldn't work due to the fact that Prodrive wanted to enter with a customer chassis ( not as a constructor )which is where all the problems started

A very sad situation for the guys at Aguri. It seems F1 continues it's march to an all manufacturers team situation. As for Nick Fry - bungler with the morals of a rattlesnake. I hope he gets his just deserts sooner rather than later.

The most worrying thing for me though is this. The attitude to Aguri's situation in F1 seems to be just to shrug shoulders and say 'another team bites the dust, don't worry though there'll be other teams'. Will there? Super Aguri has shown that privateers teams in the long run can't sustain themselves in F1. Others will look at this and decide it's not worth the risk of entering into F1. So much for cost cutting.
