Takuma Sato
“I have really enjoyed my first test of the winter.
It has been the first opportunity for me to drive since the
Brazilian Grand Prix and so I was very much looking forward
to it. To get back into an F1 car and drive for the whole
three days testing, which is a long time, has been really
enjoyable. Every day we completed over 100 laps, which is
very encouraging. We have tried new controls and it was obviously
my first time to run the new Bridgestone Potenza tyres, so
I am very happy and believe that this has been a very positive
test for the team.”
Graham Taylor, Sporting Director
“The weather during the test this week has been very
stable which has allowed for a great deal of analysis. The
mileage covered and data collected during the week is impressive
and extremely satisfying. SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM has a solid
foundation to its 2007 preparations.
