Ex-Super Aguri driver needs new home. Can Renault help?

After the collapse of Super Aguri, Takuma Sato is without a team for the remainder of the season. That’s a shame, because Sato is one of the most exciting and enigmatic drivers in F1. Yes, he’s inconsistent, but he can be as fast as anyone, given the right machinery.

Rumours doing the rounds at Istanbul last weekend suggested that Taku might replace Rubens Barrichello at Honda in 2009. It’s a credible rumour, given that Super Aguri were powered by Honda, and also that Sato is, like Honda, Japanese.
