Aspect of Tako's win? did I watch the wrong race again? :

From my quick little research Honda Tochigi is probably where Honda R&D's road car relevant technologies... So prior to last years honda, I'm sure they played around with f1 cars before, and have a compentant crew of engineers and designers playing with the designs the Super Aguri uses.

Gain those points? have they already excluded McLeran over flexy wings already... that was fast? :

But seriously, concidering Valve's opinions of Sato at the start of the season, I must say I'm very impressed with the amount of praise he has tossed at him... I was almost expecting him to be quiet on the subject...
