Formula 1: Takuma Sato takuma sato

Takuma Sato (No. 22 Super Aguri F1 Team): (Were you overtaking under the yellows? Was under investigation?): “No. Jenson was overtaking me, so I wasn’t overtaking at that time. But it was a shame: The race was looking good up to that point. It wasn’t a great day for me.” (About the start): “That is always a difficult with everyone going into Turn 1 at high speed to a point of heavy braking. I saw the accident out front, and I just got over. It was no problem.” (About his spin out of race): “There was still a yellow flag in Turn 1, and Jenson was overtaking me on the main straight so I just hold my position. But then I finally I came back to pass him back and I got on the dodgy side and spun off. Unfortunately, I made a mistake.” (Did you get in the grass?): “Probably. It is a very dodgy side.”
