SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM race drivers Takuma Sato and Anthony
Davidson made an encouraging start to the 2007 French Grand
Prix weekend. The Bridgestone Potenza tyre options proved
to be the only major challenge of the day, with Takuma and
Anthony able to run through their respective planned programmes
to complete their usual Friday routines.
Takuma Sato
“The day was quite interesting because the two tyre
options behaved differently, so we need to analyze the large
amount of data we were able to collect today. We also ran
some new aero developments and there were a few good points
from them. The car ran reliably and with no problems, so I
think that it was a positive day.”
Anthony Davidson
“I am happy with our day's work. We found a good balance
for the new tyres close to the end of the day and I'm obviously
pleased to be so high up on the timesheets. We found some
quite big differences between the tyre options and I think
that every team will find them a challenge for the rest of
the weekend.”
Graham Taylor, Sporting Director
“Both car crews worked diligently through their planned
testing programmes. There was a slight ‘hiccup’
at the start of Free Practice 2 when Anthony touched the back
of the Toro Rosso leaving the pitlane and damaged the front
wing. Apart from that it was productive day, but we need to
work on how we manage the rest of our weekend.”
