How many points will Super Aguri score this season?

[jens]

Although Super Aguri showed some sparks of speed during winter tests, then probably their competitiveness at Albert Park was a surprise to many people. Both drivers did a magnificent job and especially in qualifying. Most probably it will be extremely tough for them to keep that form during the season and what more time goes by that tougher it will be for them to score any points.

But what do you think, how many will the team score if any? Probably 1-2 if there are some races, where situations favour them? That would be good enough to finish 9th in the WCC.

i can see them scoring at least 5 points this season, possibly even more, i think they will be aiming for 8th place finishes, but a situation like Budapest last season may bring more luck to them.

Probably more than Honda :D That's if Honda don't get their act together soon. Would be pretty funny :laugh:

i remember some jurno asked Pat Symonds at Renault's launch few months ago who does think are going to be strong this year. He said Ferrari, Mclaren, BMW and keep an eye on the Aguris! Then he even confirmed it by saying: No, Im not joking...

I thought it was funny that he didnt mention Honda at that time, but it seems he knew what he was talking about eh. Good engine, stabil chasse, fast drivers puching eachother to the very limit.. I'd say 10 points are on the cards for them

[millencolin]

8... you heard it here first

[N. Jones]

I've got dibs on 10!

Probably depends on what happens if the case against their car is upheld.

[K-Pu]

I wouldn´t be so optimistic...

My bet is 3-5 points, no more. Anyway, if I´m wrong and they´re more competitive than I think, it´s better for the championship....

I think 4-6 points tops.

Super Aguri are running a car with a year of development already on it, so far most if not all of the development of that car was done by Honda, can Super Aguri continue? they are a new team and don't really have the experience. Honda, Red Bull and Toro Rosso will eventually sort their cars and will overtake Super Aguri

[SuperAguri]

I predict double figures. The drivers are more than capable, and so is the car.

It's good and SA need to take advantage of the early season when the rest are slower than they perhaps may be in future races.

[Shifter]

very few if any, after the protest is upheld.

[Subaru WRX]

this is an amizing question, abviously ZERO points :D

[call_me_andrew]

Take the points scored in Australia and then multiply by a factor of one.

[jens]

I find it amazing that some of you expect them to score somewhere around 10 points. It seems quite unlikely unless there are going to be totally chaotic races, where about only 8 drivers manage to finish the race.

[Roamy]

depends on how many people sato hits - 10 points should be acheivable

[truefan72]

12 solid points

[raikk]

7 pts..

[wmcot]

very few if any, after the protest is upheld.

I wonder if Honda are considering entering the protest after the results in Australia??? :)

[Valentino Rossi Boy]

Super Aguri will score at least 3pts this season

Even if they get through the whole season without having their car ruled illegal, they won't be developing it much, relative to the frontrunners, from here on in.

They'll have a trajectory like Sauber used to or Red Bull did last year - start well, be at the back of the pack by years' end.

I'm not sure that they get any points at all. If they do it will probably be in Monaco or Hungarian GP. But 3 points is a maximum - anyway in my mind. :)
