Blustery winds and a green track made for difficult driving
conditions for the first running day of the 2007 British Grand
Prix. SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM race drivers Takuma Sato and Anthony
Davidson made a solid start to the weekend with both drivers
completing their respective planned test programmes.
Takuma Sato
“We had a lot of things to do today as we were not
at the last Silverstone test. I believe that we completed
quite a lot of things, including the normal tyre comparison.
We went through our normal Friday running plus a bit extra
and considering the really windy condition which made it really
inconsistent corner by corner and difficult to judge the set-up
difference, I think it was a positive day.”
Anthony Davidson
“The driving conditions were difficult for everyone
out there with the high winds. We combated that with set-up
work as much as we could and I'm happy with where we got the
car to on a long run. For the short runs it was a bit hard
to tell the grip levels due to the wind, but we ran through
the whole programme. We had a small problem with the car towards
the end of the last session with only 20 minutes to go. The
boys did a good job to get the car back out there and get
my final new tyre run. I was able to get a good read, so I'm
happy with everyone's work today.”
Graham Taylor, Sporting Director
“We had a difficult start to the day with the weather
conditions coupled with the fact that we did not test here
with the other teams a couple of weeks ago. However, we knuckled
down to our programme and made a success of it. We are where
we expected to be; Anthony's clearly enjoying being at home
and we hope for a good day tomorrow.”
