Super Aguri F1 – Takuma Sato (#22), Anthony Davidson (#23):
Perhas contentiously, and perhaps against the odds, Super Aguri
has scored points in 2007, but the team is determined to hold on to its elevated position in the constructors' championship as the European leg of the season draws to a close.
According to
Takuma Sato's race engineer Richard Connell, Spa should be another decent weekend for the Leafield-based operation.
"We have numerous set-up tools available so that we can adapt our car to the characteristics of the circuit and ensure we get the best performance from the SA07 across the weekend," he explained, "Spa, with respect to other circuits on the F1 calendar, is a low downforce circuit and we will run an optimised aerodynamic set-up to reflect this. History shows that the SA07 is well suited to these low downforce, high efficiency circuits, and the team has given very good qualifying and race performances in Canada and the USA, where we would usually run a similar aerodynamic package.
"Our priority is to finish the Belgian Grand Prix weekend having maintained our eighth position in the constructors’ championship. We will, of course, always aim to add to our points tally for the year but, with the highly competitive level of our midfield rivals and reliability of the entire field, this is not always possible. So, if we can maintain our advantage over the teams currently behind us, which is certainly possible, then the weekend will have been a success.
TYRES:
Formula One's return to Spa will see Bridgestone’s medium and soft compound Potenza face the longest circuit of the season, needing to combat a diverse mix of corners, including the world famous Eau Rouge, in each 7km lap.
