Takuma Sato - Extreme makeover

[Valve Bounce]

Taku just doesn't have that depth of knowledge or experience.

He's getting there.

Attention - new speculation!

The German broadcaster RTL reported this week that Toyota could already be eying long-time Honda protégé Takuma Sato as a worthy occupant of the ride alongside Trulli in 2008 and beyond.

silly season gets earlier and earlier. i blame global worming. the sooner we change to biofuels, the better

Still, ralf has been boxing below his weight for a long time now. about time he got into the underware business if you ask me.

the problem is that the other teams are going to still remeber him form his awful 2005 season when he scroed no points and when he kept tripping over the other drivers escpecially the incident in Suzaka with Trulli

Actually, Tako managed 1 point while bunsen scored 37. This vast difference indicated a desperation which got worse with each non scoring race. One began to wonder whether he had a loose wire between his brain and his hands and feet.

Last year, there was no need for desperation - the second hand Arrows was clearly so outclassed that just finishing intact was an achievement, and hitting someone else simply meant he wouldn't finish. This alterred his focus and he matured as a result.

I think it was about bad timing for his last lap.

I still think Sato has had his chance and pretty much blown it. Could you imaginbe if he went to Toyota it was Trulli who was harping on about how dangerous he was even before the clash they had in Japan

I also think that the main fear in Sato's move to a factory team is that how can he handle the pressure there. Teams, who might think about hiring him, don't doubt about his speed, but about his consistency and nerves.
