Moderator: Thank you. Aguri?
Aguri Suzuki: I think it is the same, but it is very shocking after the crash, it’s very, very bad accident. But after the driver has nothing, it is very incredible. And also now the cars are quite very good, is good safety. Just imagine, I drove in Formula One 15 years ago, maybe it’s big, big problem, but now the FIA does a good job and the team and everything is very good job. I’m very happy with Formula One now.
Moderator: Aguri, obviously two great races for you this year, two points-scoring races. What sort of effect has that had on the team?
Suzuki: I think I am very happy and also I want to say thank you to the driver and sponsors and everything. But it is very impressive because our team is very small. This year our target is to just get points, one point I think is already. Now already is four points. I am very, very happy.
Anyway, so our car potential is normally it is very difficult to get the points, but if something happens in the race, for example, in Spain and Canada is very unusual race, so we are very important, the ability in the car, just to finish the races is our target. After maybe get some point or something.
Moderator: I realize the team is really quite small and obviously very new. What sort of developments when we’re looking around you here, the teams here, they would have developments coming all the time.
SUZUKI: Yeah, but it’s very important. It’s about our staff is about 140 or -45, something like that. But it is like a family, it is just one piece. And everybody look same direction. And also I can control everything. If it’s a—I don’t know, 500, 600, 700, very difficult to control everything. But anyway, it is still small, but it is very good team, I think.
Moderator: And have you got developments coming every race or every few races?
SUZUKI: Yeah, Formula One is very important in every race in development and improve. But depend on the budget, you know. Our team is still small, always looking for sponsor or talking to sponsors or something else. If we get more money, OK, I try more hard. But anyway, so we continue to develop our car.
Moderator: Some more questions, please?
Q: Aguri, one reason you did well this year is that you have a car based on a race-winning car from last year. Are you worried in 2008 that you might have to run a 2007 Honda that’s uncompetitive?
Suzuki: Sorry?
Q: You are doing well this year because you have a car that won races last year, a chassis. Next year are you worried that you will have to run a car that hasn’t even scored points yet?
Suzuki: It’s very—you know, I don’t think so. This car is our car, is no problem. It is not decided next year brand because it is not decided regulations. So anyway, we try to make next year also our car. OK? (Laughter)
