Yamamoto poised to race again

1 August 2010

Sakon Yamamoto was pleased to reach the finish in Hungary on Sunday and the Japanese reserve driver seems likely to be racing again for Hispania before the end of the 2010 season.


Having replaced Bruno Senna at Silverstone two races ago, former Super Aguri and Spyker pilot Yamamoto has since occupied Karun Chandhok’s cockpit at both Hockenheim and the Hungaroring and now seems set for more Grands Prix over the upcoming months.

“I am happy for the team, which achieved its target of a two-car finish,” he began after coming home 19th and last of the finishers in Hungary.

“We decided to have a different tyre strategy as we started on Prime (harder compound) tyres; this was good because we could get different data, which we can use in preparation for the next races.

"We are now going to have the summer break, in which I’d like to have a good preparation for the following races.”
