F1: Honda Clipping Super Aguri’s Wings?

Super Aguri has been a thorn in the works Honda team's side all year. Seems they're getting tired of it... (LAT photo) ยป More Photos

Sources close to the Super Aguri team say that Honda effectively sabotaged its customer outfit's chances at Spa.

Super Aguri were not allowed to use a wing design that it had used at the Spa test in July and found to be very competitive. Instead come the race weekend Honda provided Aguri only with less effective options, including a Barcelona-spec wing.

Indeed Anthony Davidson was so frustrated by the performance of his car in qualifying spec that he opted to drop out of parc ferme and start from the pit lane with a different wing fitted.

Ironically, in the race Takuma Sato still managed to fight his way past Jenson Button by going around the outside at the corner at the end of the straight, much to the embarrassment of the works team.

With three races to go, Super Aguri remains two
points clear of its parent team in the constructors' championship. In recent weeks there has been increasing tension between the two camps as the works team has complained to Japan that Aguri is an ongoing drain on resources.
