Super Aguri F1 Team experienced mixed fortunes at the 2008 Spanish Grand
Prix today. Takuma Sato took the chequered flag in 13th position, the team's
highest placing of the season to date, whilst Anthony Davidson was forced to
retire his SA08A in the opening stages of the race due to an overheating
issue resulting from a pierced water radiator.
Anthony Davidson: "It was a disappointing end to the weekend for me. After
Piquet ran wide at the beginning of the race he dragged a lot of gravel on
to the track and a stone from that then damaged my water radiator, putting
me out of the race. I got a good start and felt comfortable in the car up to
that point, so it is a shame to have retired so early, but I'd like to thank
everyone in the team for their hard work and determination this weekend."
Aguri Suzuki, Team Principal: "It was a tough race with only just over half
of the competitors crossing the finish line. Despite the fact that we did
not attend the test here last week, both drivers and all the mechanics and
engineers have done a great job today. I am sorry for Anthony as he retired
due to damage to his radiator, but he did a great job at the start. Taku had
a very good race in a difficult situation and came home in 13th position,
which is our best result so far this season. It has been a difficult weekend
for everybody in our team and I would like to thank our partners and the
fans for their continued support."
