Bahrain Friday quotes: Super Aguri

"So this is a good step for our first day and there is a lot of work to do regarding our performance, but we shall work hard over night to ensure another good day tomorrow."

Yuji Ide: "I am always happy to be in the car but today was a very special day for me. We had a little mechanical problem but I am glad that I was able to test the new tyres during my running time.

"I think that we had a good practice session. It was a good testing for me. I am looking forward to driving tomorrow and will do my best to learn more about the track when I am in the car again tomorrow."

Aguri Suzuki, Team Principal: "We couldn't test the car much at the testing so the first practice session was like a shake-down for us. It was great to see the car actually running on the track. The second session was to check if the car runs properly and make some changes from the first session.

"Although we had mechanical problems today but I am happy with what we did and am looking forward to tomorrow very much."
