France Saturday quotes: Super Aguri

Franck Montagny - 21st: "It was a good qualifying session because this morning I was quite happy about the changes the guys had made to the set-up of the car. The car reacted quite okay to the changes this afternoon and for the first time I could beat my teammate and I am happy with that, especially as it is here at my home Grand Prix in France. So far the car is performing well, so I hope it's going to continue and I will try my best for the race tomorrow."  

Aguri Suzuki, Team Principal: "It was a good day today. Taku's car had a small problem this morning, but there were no problems for us during qualifying and the fastest times of our cars are very close together. I am happy that we are closing the gap and that there is only a one-second gap between us and our nearest competitors.

"We are still in our original car, so this bodes well for the next Grand Prix when we shall be introducing the SA06. Tomorrow we need to finish the race with both cars and I especially hope that Franck sees the chequered flag at his home race, which would be very special for him and the team."
