Super Aguri F1: sadly - just before Christmas they are announcing lay offs and re-assigning a number of staff in the last few days. The reason: lack of funding. As many as 30% the team is affected. Some are being moved to other positions and some offered work at Honda.
( They were hoping for a rescue package and to keep the team unchanged. No decision over customer cars means that the potential buyer, Dave Richards, is still waiting to see what happens with the Concorde agreement. Richards has now dismissed the idea of his company getting on the grid in 2008).
