Preview - French Grand Prix 2007.

Thursday, 28th June 2007

Crash.net’s Formula 1 editor, Craig Llewellyn looks ahead to this weekend’s French Grand Prix at Magny Cours...

"It is the same as always for France - to give it maximum attack and get the best result we can. We have to get the set-up right, get the confidence high and then go out and do our best. I like the track and I have done okay on it so far - in fact, the only drama is getting out of the circuit on a Sunday night!

Super Aguri F1 – Takuma Sato (#22), Anthony Davidson (#23):

Super Aguri's mercurial season continued at Indianapolis with its fortunes taking a minor downward turn after the high points of Montreal. Anthony Davidson finished a lap down in eleventh, but worse befell team-mate Takuma Sato, who spun off while under investigation for passing under yellow flags - and earned himself a ten-place grid penalty for Magny-Cours as a result.

Sporting director Graham Taylor insisted, however, that team remained on course to achieve its goals.

"I believe that the team has performed above its station on all levels," he says, "The driver pairing that we have has enabled us to make steps forward in our preparations for each race. The addition of Ant's technical ability, paired with Taku's F1 experience has settled into a good relationship immediately, with the engineering team benefiting from both cars in all sessions over a race weekend. This has put pressure on everyone in the team and, on many occasions, we have been able to show our true potential. Our target was to join the F1 fraternity and score a point. Now that we have amassed four points, it has left us hungry for more and increased our fighting spirit even further. Ant's time for scoring a point should not be far away.
