Aguri Suzuki and the Super Aguri F1 Team have confirmed their continued relationship with Japanese driver Sakon Yamamoto who will take on the position of second test driver in 2007.

Sakon made an encouraging F1 debut during the four months he drove for the team in the latter half of the 2006 season. In his new role Sakon will be supporting SAF1 Team race drivers Takuma Sato and Anthony Davidson in addition to newly appointed test and reserve driver Giedo van der Garde.

Sakon Yamamoto: "It is great news that I am able to stay in Formula One with Super Aguri in 2007 and would like to thank everyone who has supported me, especially Aguri-san. I will try to do my best in my new role and give the team good support from my time in the car next year."

Aguri Suzuki: "I am very happy that Sakon will remain a member of the Super Aguri family next season. We will help him to secure a race seat in another category for 2007 and I am confident that his experience gained from Formula One racing this year will help him achieve this goal."
