Malaysian GP - Super Aguri Honda - QualifyingGiven the off-season problems experienced at Super Aguri Honda, both Takuma Sato and Anthony Davidson never expect anything but a private battle at the back of the field.
Today however Takuma Sato managed to out-qualify
the Force India Ferrari of Adrian Sutil and lines up 18th. Team-mate Davidson starts 21st.
Takuma Sato
“I think that the team did a great job again, under the circumstances. We showed good speed in the morning as I did qualifying simulation and I was happy with the balance. During my first run in qualifying the grip level was quite low and I had traffic, but then on the last run I hooked up everything I needed and I enjoyed the lap. I will certainly try to make a good race tomorrow.”
Anthony Davidson
“Another difficult qualifying session today for us. I think that we have improved slightly since the last race. My middle run this afternoon was good, but I struggled to find the right balance in the car for the last run.”
Graham Taylor, Sporting Director
“All credit to the drivers, engineers and the boys after a very difficult Friday. We came back fighting; we had a good practice session this morning and a better balance in the car." "We were a little worried about the forecast of rain during qualifying as neither driver has run with the new ECU rules in the wet, but fortuitously that didn’t occur. Our small victory of Takuma beating one of the Force India cars gives us hope for tomorrow.”
