SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM concluded its test at the Jerez circuit
in Spain today.
Anthony Davidson
“It was a very successful test for us in Jerez. On
the two days that I drove we managed to improve our traction
control and continue learning about the new Bridgestone Potenza
tyres. We made further progress on the balance of the car
and the Honda engine was reliable once again, so we were able
to cover 259 laps over the two days.”
Takuma Sato
“It was another positive test for us and I am very
pleased to start the new year testing like this. We tried
various set-ups for a variety of conditions and learned a
few things on the control side as well. The car was very reliable
so we were able to complete our planned programme with very
good mileage. The team is working well together and we had
a very good atmosphere here, so I am happy with this test.”
Graham Taylor, Sporting Director
“We have had a very satisfying test this week with
the car displaying impressive reliability. Taku had a good
day today, picking up from where Anthony left off, helping
with the development of the control systems and furthering
our understanding of the Bridgestone Potenza tyre. The team
is already looking forward to our next test in Valencia in
two weeks.”
