Reports on ITV.com/F1 and BBC say that Super Aguri have postponed the launch of their 2008 car.

As difficulties with sponsorship and development continue, the team is losing precious testing opportunities. Fans around the world will be disapointed to learn of the set back, and to hear that it may be as late as the first race before they get to see the new car and new livery.

Increasingly, fans and pundits are predicting that Aguri-san will need to drop the "all Japanese" approach and get any sponsor willing to invest.

It is understood that Takuma and Anthony are both yet to sign with the team as drivers for 2008 - a situation which only serves to fuel doubt and fears among the fan base that everything is being left too late.

The only glimmer of good news is that the SA08 has passed the FIA crash tests - which have been set higher again this year.

SAF1.org wishes the team every success and will continue to wave the flag and cheer.
