In last month’s Indianapolis 500, Takuma Sato demonstrated once again that age is a mere number as he led a significant number of laps on his way to ninth place. Indeed, only the smallest of braking misjudgements on pitlane cost him a shot at a third victory at the Speedway.
But, no matter how impressive his run at the wheel of a one-off additional Honda-powered Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing ...Keep reading
