Difficult day for Super Aguri

At a cold and damp Interlagos circuit the Super Aguri 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 commented on his difficult day at Interlagos: "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 wasn't much different in his comments. He said: "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."
