San Marino preview quotes: Super Aguri

"Following the two-week break the team is now refreshed and looking forward to the San Marino Grand Prix. Imola is a unique circuit - classic and narrow with a bumpy surface. We use a lot of kerb throughout the race, so car set-up is very important. The weather is often cold which makes the driving conditions very different from the first races of the season.

"Our car has good straight-line speed, but the chicanes and high-speed corners will make this race another challenge for us."

Yuji Ide: "I am disappointed that I was not able to drive during the test in Barcelona last week as I really need to complete more miles and spend more time learning the car.

"I want to finish the next race as I did in Australia and hopefully be able to run a little faster. It is my first European race so I am looking forward to it and have been studying the Imola circuit during the break."

Aguri Suzuki, Team Principal: "After three fly away races I am sure that the team members were glad to return home.

"In the time we have had back in the UK we have been able to work on the car and participate in an important test in Barcelona. The team was not able to complete its entire programme but was able to achieve a greater understanding of the SA05 as this was the car's first full testing programme.

"So I am content with our progress as the team flies to Italy for its first European race."
