TAKUMA SATO, No. 75 AMADA Dallara/Honda/Firestone:
“It was pretty much down to me, my mistake. I simply couldn’t stop in the box. I need to analyze that a little bit to understand. Obviously, everyone struggled on the cold tires, but it was the same conditions for everyone. It was my mistake, I messed up. The 75 crew did an amazing job and unbelievable, meticulous work from the team. Not only the last three weeks, but also over the course of the winter. Everyone worked so hard to put the car on the front row and we led the race most of the time until that point. It’s a real pity but huge congrats to Chip Ganassi Racing and Alex.”
