A week after being disqualified from the Chinese Grand Prix Takuma Sato faces up to the challenge of competing in not on his home race, but that of his team.
"Suzuka will be extremely challenging both mentally and physically for us this year," said Sato. "We should have a very strong package now."
"It is important to have the absolutely right balance of the car, which I believe we can achieve after our successful testing at Silverstone last month," he added. "We are firmly concentrating on performing well at this race as this will be not only our first, but our only chance to visit Suzuka this year, so we are passionate to have a good weekend for our fans. I cannot wait to share the massive support that I have had over the years as I am sure that all the team will feel it."
