Massive speed all through his career but not enough control sadly. Such an exciting potential fading away at present.

I wouldn't say he "has to go" - he gives us something to talk about.....
Seriously, he is fast, always has been. I think if he manages to win one it might be the start of something big. I have to wonder if that confidence boost of getting the job done is what is needed to get him winning consistently....

Sorry guys, I am going to disagree with the contention he is like PT. He isn't like PT. PT was fast but he won, and often enough to make people overlook the crashes. PT crashes were through aggressiveness but often were ones where you could see why he tried to do what he did. Most of Sato's crashes come off as brain farts. Even some of the ones where you think you can sympathize show a bad lack of strategy. For example, had he pulled off the pass of Dario going into one at Indy this year, only a village idiot would think he could hold Dario off going into 3. Dario would have slotted in behind, took him going into 3 and would have likely won. Sato had zero patience. He cannot think the process through. PT never dumped himself or anyone else in that manner on a last lap going for a win. He has done a lot of dumb things in his day...but not that dumb...and Sato does this routinely....
I like him for entertainment value, and I hope he proves me wrong, but IF I am a team owner, I want deep pockets or someone writing big checks because this guy is going to shred some race cars..."Water for my horses, beer for my men and mud for my turtle".

Correct me if I'm wrong but is Bobby Rahal putting is arm round Taku's shoulder and having a word? Bobby has always struck me as the type of person you would listen and learn from.The world according to Taki Inoue: https://mobile.twitter.com/takiinoue/st ... 7249326080

"Hi, i'm Takuma "The Wallbanger" Sato. I've been a psychopath race driver for over 10 years. Whether I'm on the racetrack or crashing down the road, one thing I know for sure, is I smash my vehicle and whats left of it."October 16th, 2011 - One of the blackest days in the history of motorsports.

IIRC Sato is backed mainly by Honda money, and Ray's Wheels, also a Japanese company?

My advice is to consider editing your post. You are pretty identifiable in a very public forum and if your current employer has internet police they may find this interesting. Of course, ignore me if...
