SUZUKI, BRUNDLE AND DANNER RUN AT SAF1 TEAM SILVERSTONE
EVENT
 Ex-Formula
One drivers Aguri Suzuki (Japan), Martin Brundle (UK) and
Christian Danner (Germany) took to the Grand Prix Circuit
at Silverstone, UK, today in the SUPER AGURI F1 Team car that
achieved 10th position at the 2006 Brazilian Grand Prix in
the hands of Takuma Sato.
Aguri Suzuki, Team Principal of the SAF1 Team, invited Martin
and Christian to drive the SA06 following his team’s
exciting result at the 2006 season finale. The team was able
to document this unique event today with the aid of the gentlemen’s
national Formula One host television broadcasters.
Aguri Suzuki, SAF1 Team, Team Principal
“Our event today was really great fun! It has been
13 years since I last drove at Silverstone and I enjoyed it
very much. I realised, however, that racing with this kind
of car was not for me anymore and I am happy to be a Team
Principal. My job now is to encourage young people to race
and also reach the pinnacle of motorsport.”
 Martin
Brundle, ITV F1 commentator
“We’re very appreciative of the great opportunity
to test an F1 car on the full Grand Prix circuit at Silverstone.
It has given the ITV viewers a wonderful insight into the
2007 Honda engine, gearbox and Bridgestone Potenza tyres –
even some of the current F1 drivers haven’t driven on
these yet! We were able to obtain some very good TV pictures
and sound, although I have lost my voice from shouting so
hard in the cockpit. I was able to have four or five laps
for myself aswell to enjoy the car and I must say that I was
impressed by the SA06 car and package – I can fully
understand why Taku went so well in Brazil.”
Christian Danner, RTL TV F1 commentator
“I feel privileged that I was allowed to drive Aguri’s
car and I had a lot of fun out there! I gradually got used
to the car lap by lap and had a great time with the team today.”
