Super Aguri could make a surprise race to Grand Prix racing next year, according to reports from Japan.
The Honda powered operation that withdrew from the sport at the start of last year because of lack finance is considering an early return.
Team boss and ex-F1 racer Aguri Suzuki said he will be attempting to take one of the three new team slots up for grabs in 2010.
FIA President Max Mosley is dangling the possibility of credible, competitive cars, for a quarter of current budgets because those who refuse to follow the cost restrictions will be forced to compete within rougher technical limitations.
“If it’s physically possible I would certainly like to return,” said Suzuki. Mirror.co.uk
The Tokyo-based squad entered the F1 World Championship in 2006 as, effectively, Honda’s B-team, before withdrawing from the series after four races of the 2008 season, due to financial difficulties.
The collapse of a major sponsorship deal and Honda’s unwillingness to provide long-term support led to Suzuki’s decision to pull the plug, leaving with a certain amount of bitterness towards the sport.
However, the FIA’s decision to bring in an optional budget cap of £40 million – to be introduced next season – has increased the interest of a number of potential entrants. Setanta Sports
