At a cold and damp Interlagos circuit SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM
commenced the final Grand Prix race weekend of the 2007 Formula
One season. It was not the start that the team was hoping
for and there is a great deal to be accomplished before tomorrow’s
Qualifying.
Takuma Sato
“It was a busy but not an easy day. We evaluated the
different downforce levels with the new rear wing and worked
through the tyre test, but we experienced so many different
conditions that it was not possible to complete the tyre programme.
We need to analyse the data tonight to improve our performance
and also hope for more stable conditions tomorrow.”
Anthony Davidson
“It was an interesting day with changeable conditions.
The car was okay in the rain this morning, but then as the
track dried throughout the second session it was difficult
to get a good time out of it. I am disappointed with where
we have ended up on the time sheets; I feel that we are struggling
with pace compared to our competitors and so we have a lot
of work to do overnight before tomorrow’s Qualifying.”
Graham Taylor, Sporting Director
“The changeable weather conditions and new track surface
meant that there was a great deal to cover today. We managed
to split the programme and gained a lot of information from
both free practice sessions, however we made a mistake this
morning with Taku’s tyres and are not satisfied with
where we are at the end of the day. Even though the new parts
that we have brought to this circuit seem to be working well
there is a lot work to be done overnight.”
