Aguri: I want results in the near future.
Super Aguri have formally unveiled the team that will make its Formula One debut at Bahrain, insisting that they have what it takes to become a force to be reckoned with.
Starting the year with ex-Arrows cars that were last raced in 2002, Super Aguri have proved to be off the pace in early testing but with a new chassis due by the fourth round of the championship at San Marino, team owner Aguri Suzuki has told news agency Reuters that he expects to be proving competitive soon.

"My team might be small but I want to quickly turn it into one that is competitive at the highest level," Suzuki said. "I want results in the near future."
His optimistic attitude was mirrored by Takuma Sato, although he admits that the early races will be difficult for himself and rookie team mate Yuji Ide.
"It might be difficult at the start but I'm sure we can improve step by step," said Sato, who will be starting his fourth season in F1. "It's a new challenge and I hope to use my experience to the full."
