SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM had an encouraging first day at the 2008 Malaysian
Grand Prix. Despite limited running, the team was able to complete its
testing programme and will continue to work on pace improvement during
FP3 tomorrow.
Takuma Sato
“It was another good Friday practice. Under the restricted mileage
situation we achieved most of the running we wanted. We had a little
overheating issue, but we solved the problem on every outing and made
steady progress. The car was starting to grip towards the end and we
tried a few different set-ups. We come away from today with another
good understanding of the car and hopefully we can work on improving
our speed tomorrow morning before Qualifying.“
Anthony Davidson
“It was a much more productive day today compared with any of the
sessions in Melbourne. The car ran reliably and we got some
constructive tyre work done between me and Takuma and I am relatively
happy with where we ended up balance-wise on the car. I worked well
with my new engineer, Richard, who did a good job, as did all the car
crew today.“
Graham Taylor, Sporting Director
“A wide range of analysis has been conducted today, with neither driver
particularly happy at the start with the balance, but our work
continues. I believe that we are all lamenting the lack of winter
testing and it is really hitting home now.“
