TAKUMA SATO, No. 75 AMADA Dallara/Honda/Firestone:
“I’m extremely disappointed with the result. The entire team and crew worked so hard to prepare and I’m really happy with that part. It showed the potential and good speed. But today, as a whole team, we made a mistake choosing a package that we thought was good for this (weather) condition, and the car was very draggy and couldn't pull the speed. Now we need to focus on Monday's practice to make a strong car for the race.”
