Australia preview quotes: Super Aguri

"The circuit at Albert Park has very different characteristics to the tracks from the first two races. The team will have a new aero update for this race and I think that our car will be better suited to this meandering street circuit.

"After the opening back-to-back races, the team has now had a chance to take a short break and we have also had time to evaluate our performance from the initial races and hopefully make a step forward for the coming Grands Prix."

Yuji Ide: "I have visited Australia many times and I always liked it. There's only one hour time difference from Japan and the weather is great. I am looking forward to the Grand Prix in Melbourne and to hopefully finishing a Formula One race for the first time.

"It has been very disappointing for me to not finish the past two races, especially since all the mechanics are working so hard. I know that there has been a mechanical problem on my car, but I feel very frustrated. I really hope that I will be able to finish the next race in Australia."

Aguri Suzuki, Team Principal: "I always enjoy visiting Australia and I have a house there. This time my visit will be very special because I return to take part in our first ever Australian Formula One Grand Prix.

"Super Aguri F1 Team will bring a further front wing development to Australia, so we shall hopefully see an improvement in our performance.

"I hope that we will be able to move up a position on the grid and see cars #22 and #23 both finishing the race."
