Monaco Saturday quotes: Super Aguri

Takuma Sato - 21st: "Obviously the morning wet session made it difficult for everybody, but at least we collected good data for running in these conditions. Going into qualifying, the first outing was just a warm up and then in the second outing I caught some traffic, so I wasn't able to do a relevant quick lap

"Then when I came back to the pit to prepare for the last qualifying lap our timing plan was incorrect and we couldn't make it across the line for a third run, which was very disappointing."

Anthony Davidson - 17th: "As was the case for everybody, we experienced really difficult conditions today. The qualifying session was quite frantic and I feel that my side of the garage did a great job in getting the car out there in a good space.

"It was unfortunate to miss out on not getting a final run in as we wanted to try and complete three runs because it looked like it could rain at any moment. However, I don't feel anyone did anything wrong, so I'm happy with what we did, it was just bad luck."

Graham Taylor, Sporting Director: "The weather conditions this morning put a bit of a spin on things. Both drivers did very well and we were in the middle of the pack where we expected to be. Had it been wet during qualifying I think we would have been in good positions.

"However, we bit off a little more than we could chew in qualifying. We let the drivers down with our timing; both Takuma and Anthony failed to do a planned third run and it proves what I have being saying that we are a young team, learning all the time."
