Sato ready to fight back

By on

Takuma Sato has said that while it will be tough at the Brazilian Grand Prix next Sunday, he's looking forward to the callenge of battling his way through the field. Sato will go into the qualifying session next Saturday knowing that he will lose 10 places on the grid because of his penalty after the incident with Schumi at Spa-Francorchamps.

The BAR-Honda driver is very determined to get the best result he can at a difficult track, according to the Japanese.
Takuma Sato "Interlagos is one of only three circuits where the track runs anti-clockwise and physically it's tough for the drivers with all the left-hand corners. The infield is very much like a karting track with all the twisty corners and slow speeds. It's a circuit that always sees exciting racing because there are some overtaking opportunities, although it is still difficult. The track used to be very bumpy but the resurfacing last year helped reduce that."

Just as Jenson Button, Enrique Bernoldi, Adam Carroll and James Rossiter, Taku was testing last week in Spain and was pleased with how proceedings went, especially as he notched up over 250 laps.
"We have had a positive test in Barcelona which is encouraging for the race. We will be back to a higher-downforce aero package after two low-downforce races, which the team is confident will suit the car. It will be tough for me having to start further down the grid but I'm looking forward to fighting my way through the field and having a good race."
