Difficult qualifying session for Aguri drivers

The Super Aguri drivers continue to struggle at pa-Francorchamps with their SA07's. Takuma Sato qualified himself in 19th position while Anthony Davidson had to do with a disappointing 21st position.

Takuma Sato commented on his qualifying session: "The car had improved a bit this morning with the changes made over night and the team worked really hard with the data collected yesterday. I was happier with the balance today, but we knew it was going to be a tough session. It's such a shame that we could not introduce more performance in Qualifying. I just hope that tomorrow everything turns into a positive for us."

Anthony Davidson wasn't much more positive. He said: "It's been a very difficult weekend here in Spa and it came to a head here in Qualifying today. We went the wrong way with car balance in Qualifying as a last resort, and it was worth a try. But it made it to hard to drive and grained the rear tyres quite a lot by the end of the lap, so there was no more that I could give. On this performance, we are seriously going to have to consider our race options for tomorrow."
