Sato ready for round 16 in the championship

By on

After a good qualifying and a less satisfactory race last weekend at the ciruit of Monza, BAR's Takuma Sato is, like the majority of F1 drivers, looking forward to go back to the circuit of Spa-Francorchamps, keen to do better. Takuma is hopeful to have a 'strong package' at te Belgian Grand Prix.

Takuma Sato "Spa is well-known as one of everybody's favourite circuits because it is challenging and there are a lot of high-speed, flowing corners. It gives you a fantastic feeling driving around it in a Formula One car.
The downforce requirement is a unique one. It isn't as low as for Monza and not as high as for other circuits - in fact the wing level is very similar to the one we use in Montreal.
We recently completed a successful test using this set-up and so we hope that we have a strong package for the grand prix."

Honda engineering director, Shuhei Nakamoto believes that the 007 will do better on the track at Spa than on the track of Monza last weekend.
"The Spa circuit layout should be more suited to our car than Monza so I am looking forward to being more competitive this weekend. We have a new engine spec to introduce, so I hope it helps us to regain our position of challenging the guys at the front."
