Australia: Honda's Rossiter joins Super Aguri
By Phil Huff
April 6 2006
One of Honda Racing F1's Young Driver's, James Rossiter, has signed a deal to become Super Aguri F1's third driver at the Australian Grand Prix, but he won't get to drive the car.
Replacing Franck Montagny, who had just a two race deal with the F1 newcomers, Rossiter will be called up to race should regular Super Aguri drivers Takuma Sato and Yuji Ide be declared unfit to drive.
However, as the Leafield based team have just two SA05 chassis' available, Rossiter won't get to take to the track on Friday with other Friday testers, including Honda Racing F1's Anthony Davidson.
Testing alongside Davidson with Honda Racing F1 over the winter months, Rossiter notched up around 1,300 miles in the Honda RA106.
