In the summer heat at the Hungaroring, near the vibrant city
of Budapest, SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM commenced its 2007 Hungarian
Grand Prix challenge today.
Takuma Sato
“It was a good test day. At the beginning of the first
session the track was dusty and green, with very low grip,
so we waited for half an hour for the track to improve before
going out again. I then ran through most of the programme
and we had a good morning. It was a busy session in the afternoon.
We ran through our normal Friday routine and completed the
back-to-back tyre programme, but unfortunately I had a small
mechanical issue during running; there was a bit of rain and
also, during my last quick lap, I encountered the yellow flag
issue. But all-in-all I think that we have collected some
important data today.”
Anthony Davidson
“We just about avoided the rain at the end of session
two and got through the whole programme. We found a nice balance
with the car despite lots of wear on both sets of tyres. It's
going to be interesting to see who can make them work the
best throughout the rest of the weekend. I think we're fairly
prepared for things to come, but we just worked through the
normal Friday programme and got everything that we wanted
to get done.”
Graham Taylor, Sporting Director
“A fairly normal first day in Hungary. It was a very
green circuit at the beginning of running, but we worked through
our programme. A very small shower in the second session affected
us slightly, but normal Friday information was collected.
It is going to be a tough weekend.”
