In overall sato did a god job, but crashed so much! Because of this, considering only those who ran the whole season, he only finished ahead of Milka Duno (2010 Indy ROTY so far).


Will Power lost the title? He was MILES ahead of everyone just a couple of months ago. Man! :o


Thats really gutting, Will Power certainly did his bit to earn it. I'm sure it won't be his last shot.

Fixed.
In Indycar this year, not so much. Sadly. But he did manage to show his potential every now and then, which bodes well for next year.

I noticed that someone on Youtube nicknamed him 'Kamikaze Sato' which, although a bit lazy, is quite funny. He'll bounce back, he's used to that at least.

It might as well be if Penske can't get their act together; they're the reason Power fizzled in the last four or five ovals. The man's an amazing road course driver, but so far he can't get anything done on an oval.

Takuma Sato's horrendous driving was only topped by Milka Duno in its awfulness, sorry. The only thing he did right was his qualifying pace. Will Power lost the championship because he can't hack it on an oval. Penske themselves has their act together -- they know how to capitalize on opportunity when the pace isn't there, there was just one thing missing from Will Power...

Andretti Autosport is a team that COMPLETELY flubbed this season. They were like the Toyota F1 team, they were a bunch of blindfolded monkeys throwing darts -- they'd get it right once in a blue moon and then conveniently forget how they did it!
