Senna 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2005 I just read this on ITV-F1.com. They are far too lenient on Sato; the lowest placed Minardi driver scored three times as many points as Takuma Sato did in a BAR! Disgraceful... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jenson_Rules 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2005 Quite, I think the media on a whole have been far too lenient on Sato, they enjoy having a go at JB, MS, JV and so fourth but Sato who has proved he is utter crap gets off lightly with just being a little disappointing.

Ctrl300 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2005 The thing with Sato is that the Western press could not care less. He has no fans outside Japan. But, in Japan on the other hand, he is bigger than the emperor. He makes more money than many of the top drivers, all due to the hysterical fanbase he enjoys at home. Its long overdue that his sorry arse got kicked out of F1. God forbid he will resurface in SAF1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it may be because sato comes across as a really, really nice friendly guy. People like JV, MS, Ralf, often come across moody and press dont like them much. I want sato to stay in f1. He's a character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ykickamoocow 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2005 Most drivers on the F1 grid seemed to have been born without a personality. Sato does come across as a nice guy but its hard to say due to the fact that he doesnt usually talk to the media because he has difficulty speaking English.

Ctrl300 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2005 Super Aguri might disagree. Supaer Aguri would do anything to have someone of Sato's Japanese popularity in their cars. Even if that meant putting him in a soapbox-car. If Sato is so hot-sh*t, its funny that no other team is even considering him, even as a third driver. Remember, this fellow porbably has more money to bring to the table than most others. Yeah, he rules alright. Best driver (error) ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kup 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2005 BAR had really "abnormal" 2005 season, and in the 2nd half Button made very good results, and Sato very-very bad ... Good for Honda, thay have Rubens for 2006, and with such pack team can fight for 4th ovarall with Toyota. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
