Sato Criticized By French Tv

[Chris Strange 0]

Interesting comment about Sato on frenchTV by Jacques Laffite former F1 driver. He noticed that while Sato was holding off Della Rosa and Barichello he was just to hard on the brakes and couldn't keep on braking like that, Laffite was right. He noticed too that Jenson was sparing his brakes in order to see the chequered flag. That's all the difference between a good and an average driver.

Did button finish? no i don't think he did...... Either way he should of been able to use the brakes, it was either a car issue, or a por choice by the team in terms of brake cooling. Sato all so had the same issue as Button.

If Taku was too hard on the brakes, then why can't Jenson be too hard on the clutch which ended his race (he also had a similar brake issue as well). There was simply something wrong with the brakes, simple as that.

Yes clearly there were many problems with the BAR as we're coming to expect however that happens sometimes in racing. Chris and Laffite are spot on - one of the signs of a top driver is the ability to drive round such problems (MS has won races with missing gears for instance). Sato seemed completely oblivious to the fact that his brakes were rapidly disappearing and wore them out in the first half(!) of the race whereas Button was still setting fifth fastest laps at three-quarter distance. Button battled with de la Rosa too but had the sense to not wear out his brakes. As for the clutch problem Button had that to deal with too from about lap 20 but you can not possibly compare that to the brake failure Sato had. The reason why not is that JB had an identical problem (on top of his clutch worries) and managed to keep setting very quick laps much further into the race. It is indeed yet another sign of Sato's ineptitude.

U Sato followers really are a big pair of breasts aren't you? First of all JB's reitrement was due to a reoccuring clutch problem, not brakes, and it wasn't driver error that put Button out of the race, which is why he again called for better reliability, u twats just invite the sato-bashing with open arms cos u come out with such utter dog-do

shut up you ****ing immature moron jemstride, go stroke your mums tits and it will all be alright.

[Jem of the Shire 0]

Well u asked for it with ur "Did JB finish...no he didn't" irrelevant poo, face the facts Sato's getting beaten by JB again this year and I'm enjoying it

Exactly! Jenson

oh wow, pulling of one lap where ur fast, and then being slower the rest, is what i'd want.

Hey Sato nice text in your signature, but you forgot to put Sato

Sato overcooked his brakes and retired before half distance as the result of his own stupidity

[Jet 0]

For you lap time promoters, don't you know that fastest race laps are set in the closing laps. Comparing JB's lap to Sato's all done before half race distance is plain ridiculous.

And for racing Brembo carbon brakes to start giving out a 1/4 race distance is clearly a mechanical problem. No driver out there cooks their brakes that quickly without something being inherently wrong. Brakes are the most reliable and durable component on the car. When's the last time you saw a brake failure in F1? Did anyone notice it was the front/left brake that failed and throwing out all the dust? Overcooked brakes, that are otherwise mechancially fine, fade, they don't throw up clouds of brake dust on one wheel.

Your spot on Jet.

As for you Ecapdeville, Satos numbers are better then Buttons, so i feel no need to display them.

They could be better but I dont know them, could be a nice exercise to consolidate your Sato position if you compare them race with race...just to prove you are right my friend

You guys (Sato fans) are so funny! After your Japanese equivalent has another dire race and yet again punishes his motor (as he has done with his engine and tyres) resulting in a further self-inflicted retirement and with him yet again being totally outpaced by Jenson you are still here making pathetic excuses for him! Have you ever studied Falsificationism in the philosophy of religion? Of course not

But he has 1 more point that in the end its more important than DNF

[Sato 0]

no he doesn't neither have any points my friend.

[Senna 0]

Would you like us to compare Jenson and Sato

[ecapdeville 0]

no he doesn't neither have any points my friend.

Ohh...Duh!

My mistake

Sorry!...well its seems that they are quite similar this season.

[Sato 0]

Button has had quite a few extra seasons on Takuma, not to mention he started in a car that he could podium, and did not, while the oh so bad Ralf Schumacher did.

Well...so could be a great idea for you to put your comparation numbers every race to show all the Sato

What rubbish. Sato was in the same car that Jenson got 10 podiums in 2004 and all Sato could manage was a single podium finish. Jenson outpaced Ralf several times in his debut season, e.g. when he qualified third for the 2000 Spa GP, when all Ralf could mange on this demanding circuit - before single lap qualifying was introduced -was 6th. Do you actually remember Sato
