Lucky Strike BAR Honda's star Japanese driver, Takuma Sato, was barred from entering Brazil yesterday due to a lack of valid entry visa.
Takuma arrived at the Guarulhos International Airport in Sao Paulo, close to the Brazilian Grand Prix circuit, ready for some promotional work, but was detained before being returned to Great Britain.
BAR are looking to recover their costs from carrier British Airways, as they failed to check whether Sato had the proper entry visa, according to UOL News.
