In a dramatic change in conditions from those experienced
here at last week’s test, fine weather greeted SUPER
AGURI F1 TEAM race drivers Takuma Sato and Anthony Davidson
on arrival at the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza today. Out
on track, however, the Free Practice sessions did not go to
plan, but the team’s fighting spirit assures that it
will work relentlessly towards an improvement in performance
for Qualifying tomorrow.
Takuma Sato
“We had to cover some of the testing programme that
we could not complete here last week and it was good to see
that we made some progress. We knew that it is going to be
a tough weekend for us, but on the positive side, I think
that we can improve our performance in the morning tomorrow.”
Anthony Davidson
“A clutch problem put me out of the running at the
beginning of the second session, which was a disappointing
end to the day. I believe that this won’t prove too
much of a problem, so I am looking forward to making up for
lost time in the morning and to having a good day tomorrow.”
Graham Taylor, Sporting Director
“Frustrating. With the poor weather at the test here
last week we wanted to complete a lot of laps here today,
but we haven’t been able to achieve that. We had a problem
with Anthony’s car which stopped his running early on
in the second session and so we didn’t get any long
runs in from him at all. The information that we obtained
from car 22 isn’t really enough for sufficient analysis,
so we will look hard into the data overnight to come up with
better performances for tomorrow.”
