SA closing the gap
Both Super Aguri F1 drivers weren't able to put their cars in front of their rivals. Yuji Ide and Takuma Sato will start as last on the grid. Aguri Suzuki, though, is convinced that the gap between Super aguri and the other teams is getting smaller.
Takuma Sato "It has been a good day for the team. We made encouraging progress overnight and this morning's practice session went very smoothly, so I
was able to put in a good performance in Qualifying. I am very pleased with my lap as I think that we got the best out of the car and the team is very much looking forward to the race tomorrow."
Yuji Ide "The car had a bit of oversteer since yesterday so I changed the set-up for Qualifying but it had a negative effect and I did not make as good a
time as I wanted. If we could find a way to use the new tyres better, then I think we could have improved a little on my time. However, we did not have any problems with
the car so I should be able to do well tomorrow and I am looking forward to the race."
Aguri Suzuki, Team Principal "The times between SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM and the other teams are getting smaller with every race, and today the gap came very close. I believe all the hard work by the team members and drivers has enabled this jump-up, and their dedication has shown in the big improvement we have made today. Our drivers are good at race starts, so I hope that they will both move in front of Midland F1 and hold their positions until the checkered flag."
