Following pressure from the other teams, and the FIA, Super Aguri has decided to replace, for the incoming European Grand Prix, to his japanese driver Yugi Ide for the frenchman Franck Montagny :D
Personally, I have always considered Franck a very fast driver in test and practices sessions (last year, he beated both Saubers driving a Jordan...), but I still want to see his race pace. If it turns out that he is also fast in the race, I am really hoping he will find the chance of getting a competitive seat in 2007... Considering that McLaren will have one empty seat (I don't think they are going to renew JPM's contract, and Kimi seems to be moving to the red squad), I think it will be great (although quite generous, considering that he has no race experience in F1) to give that position to the guy that helped Renault to reach the top...
