Formula One's newest team, Super Aguri, have dropped rookie driver Yuji Ide for this weekend's European Grand Prix following advice from the sport's governing body.

Ide was reprimanded by race stewards after causing an accident during the race at Imola two weeks ago, and the FIA recommended he acquire more experience before racing again.

He will be replaced by Frenchman Franck Montagny but will take on testing duties in order to get more miles in the car.

Montagny, a former test driver with Renault, will make his debut at the Nurburgring for the team which has been off the pace since rushing to make it onto the grid this season.

Team principal Aguri Suzuki said: "We accept the advice offered by the FIA to allow Yuji to accrue the mileage he requires to improve in Formula One during our testing days only.

"The team has made every effort to ensure that Yuji settled into his new Formula One surroundings and I think that he has coped incredibly well under the circumstances.

"I wish that I could have given Yuji more time in the car before the start of the season, but with the team being put together so rapidly we were unable to allow him the proper testing that he should have experienced.

"I will continue to look after Yuji's interests and support his continuing efforts within the team, including his path back to a Formula One race seat."
