RACE
The Super Aguri F1 Team experienced mixed fortunes in the 2008 Spanish Grand Prix today, though Takuma Sato took the chequered flag in 13th position, the team’s highest placing of the season to date.
Takuma Sato:
“It was a hard race, but I enjoyed it. The start was reasonably good and I overtook a few cars. Ahead of me a few cars had a coming-together and I could not avoid them and lost part of the nose, which then obviously affected my aero balance. The team said the car looked ok, so we just fought our way through the rest of the race.
“At one stage we were up in the middle, running as high as ninth, and that was a fantastic feeling. The boys did a great job under difficult circumstances this weekend. I am very happy for them and all the people who are supporting us, and I just hope that we can keep this momentum going.”

QUALIFYING
The work undertaken by the Super Aguri F1 Team overnight produced improved performance results for today’s qualifying session. During free practice this morning, Takuma made steady progress on the set-up of his SA08A and was able to find better balance for the afternoon’s running during qualifying.
Takuma Sato:“I think we made some improvement from yesterday. The first and second runs in qualifying seemed to be getting better all the time, but I was surprised that on the very last run there was a change in balance and I had understeer. I then couldn’t improve my time as much as I wanted as it wasn’t the cleanest lap. Overall we did make the right progress, so it was quite a good day.”

PRACTICE
Super Aguri F1 Team has showed unified courage and fighting spirit since its arrival in Montmelo this week for the 2008 Spanish Grand Prix. Out on-track today race drivers Takuma Sato and Anthony Davidson were finally the team’s focus once again for an atypical Friday at the Circuit de Catalunya.
Takuma Sato:
“It is nice to be back behind the wheel in Barcelona again, because I have not been here since the race last year where we scored our first point. This weekend started during a difficult time for the team, and I am proud of the way everyone has pulled together.
“Looking at performance, it is also very hard. We completed the usual Friday programme, trying to improve the set-up of the car, but we are some way off the pace. We shall try very hard to improve things for tomorrow, and I know that everyone is giving 100 per cent.”
