F1: German banker says not Aguri savior

By ,

By GMM A German racing executive and banker has ruled himself out of the running to rescue the ailing Super Aguri team.With the Magma deal off, rumours had circulated that a German concern was willing to step into the breach to buy the Japanese team and save it from imminent collapse.But Dr Thomas Bscher, also a former driver and motor sport executive, has told the Swiss publication Motorsport Aktuell that he is in fact not going to save Super Aguri.He had been spotted as a guest of the Honda-powered team at Bahrain, but Bscher insists: "I have nothing to do with the business of formula one."Explaining further, he adds: "I would never engage with a team that races only at the back because I doubt very much that you could make any money that way."Bscher also said the fact that Super Aguri in Bahrain hosted him and not another team is "pure coincidence".
