Takuma Sato
“It has been a good day for the team. We made encouraging
progress overnight and this morning’s practice session
went very smoothly, so I was able to put in a good performance
in Qualifying. I am very pleased with my lap as I think that
we got the best out of the car and the team is very much looking
forward to the race tomorrow.”
Yuji Ide
"The car had a bit of oversteer since yesterday so I
changed the set-up for Qualifying but it had a negative effect
and I did not make as good a time as I wanted. If we could
find a way to use the new tyres better, then I think we could
have improved a little on my time. However, we did not have
any problems with the car so I should be able to do well tomorrow
and I am looking forward to the race."
Aguri Suzuki, Team Principal
"The times between SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM and the other
teams are getting smaller with every race, and today the gap
came very close. I believe all the hard work by the team members
and drivers has enabled this jump-up, and their dedication
has shown in the big improvement we have made today. Our drivers
are good at race starts, so I hope that they will both move
in front of Midland F1 and hold their positions until the
checkered flag."
