Following an encouraging start to the 2007 Formula One season
in Melbourne, the SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM has joined the F1 test
at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia today.
Both Takuma Sato and Anthony Davidson travelled directly
to Malaysia following the Australian Grand Prix to train and
acclimatise to the hot and humid conditions that they will
endure during this week’s test and the immediate second
round of the 2007 Formula One World Championship on 8th April.
This is the first extremely ‘hot’ test of the
year and the SAF1 Team planned programme covers a wide range
of aerodynamic, engine and tyre evaluations. Takuma Sato was
behind the wheel of the SA07-02 today and completed a total
of 71 laps covering a number of aero and set-up tests. Takuma
will continue to obtain information for the ‘soft versus
hard’ Bridgestone Potenza tyre options tomorrow for
the forthcoming Malaysian Grand Prix.
