Takuma Sato confounded his critics today as the Lucky Strike BAR Honda driver set a new lap record in the final practice session for this weekends Spanish Grand Prix.
Taku is the only driver to have set a lap time under 75 seconds, racing his way around the Barcelona circuit in 1:14.836, despite losing a lot of time this weekend with gearbox gremlins.
Jenson Button topped the third practice session, before slipping back to 6th on this final outing before qualifying.
BAR repeatedly set fastest times at Barcelona during winter testing, so the pace is coming as no surprise to the team.
