Yesterday's Indy 500 winner Takuma Sato raced in Formula 1 between 2002 and 2008 with Jordan, BAR and Super Aguri.
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway appears to infuse the Japanese driver with an extra boost of momentum as it was at the Brickyard that Sato scored his single podium finish in F1.
Driving for BAR-Honda, he finished third behind Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello in the 2004 US Grand Prix.
