SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM drivers Anthony Davidson and Takuma Sato endured
extremely hot and humid weather conditions to bring both cars home at
the end of the 2008 Malaysian Grand Prix in 15th and 16th positions
respectively.
Takuma Sato
"It was good to finish the race. The first and second stints were good,
but then in the second stint, unfortunately, I picked up marbles
through the high speed section, ran wide and lost a lot of time there.
On almost every lap we had traffic, especially during the last stint,
so it was a pity that I couldn't pick up the pace again until the very
end. But it was good to see that the car was reliable and that we have
collected a valuable set of data, so it was a tough, but good race for
the team."
Anthony Davidson
"It was a good race for the team, and me, today. It was great to do my
first full distance race since Brazil and I think it went well. The
boys did an excellent job and the car ran reliably all the way through
the race. There were no problems what so ever and the tyres worked
well. I felt comfortable in the car and I could push whenever I wanted
to improve the lap time. I just stayed out of trouble and brought the
car home in a very respectable position for the situation that we are
in at the moment."
Aguri Suzuki, Team Principal
"I am very happy to have a two-car finish here in Malaysia because it
is a very hot, humid and difficult race. The whole team has done an
excellent job and for both cars to finish means that we have finally
started the 2008 season."
