Takuma Sato doesn't regret F1

Takuma Sato was close to a return Formula 1 but either the situation did not work out in his favor, or the seat offered did not suit him. The Japanese driver told Reuters that he did not want to sell out his season for the simple fact of returning to F1. “ I always dreamed of pursuing F1 but I wanted a competitive car, he confides. Being competitive is something that I have missed over the last few seasons. There were other seats available, from Campos or USF1, but I don't think they suited me. The name is F1 but I don't see these cars being competitive »

Furthermore, the Japanese driver confirms that he was not far from securing a seat in three of the teams already present last season. “ I was really close to Toro Rosso, Lotus and Renault but there is always something you can't control. It?s F1. »

After formalizing his decision to join theIndyCar Series, Takuma Sato does not regret his choice. “ Formula 1 is a lot of technology. It's mainly the manufacturers, not the drivers. It?s a lot of engineering, design, technology. »

From then on, he was satisfied to join a one-make championship, where each team had the same car. “ Everyone uses the same chassis, the same engine, the same tires, which means everyone can win races. From a driver's point of view, it's great. »
