Which is more annoying about Sato; his careless driving? or THAT LISP?

Answer 1

The most annoying thing about Sato is that he is driving simply because he is Japanese. It's well known that Honda hired him largely to appeal to their Japanese home base. If he was German or British he would have been kicked off the team long ago.

To be fast is a good thing. To be fast without control is nothing.

Answer 2

What is most annoying is that he is one of the least successful drivers on the circuit right now or even during his time in F1 but is still on the team only because he is japanese. He is also a careless driver. I will never forget the video from a couple seasons ago when Michael Schumacher was trying to lap Sato and sato punted both of them. An angry Michael jumped out of his car, walked over onto Sato's car, while sato was still seated with his helmet on and yelled in his face then punched sato's helmet. Schumi received no penalty as apparently the FIA thought none was warranted and Honda filed nothing about it even though the world feed clearly showed it.
Did anyone ever notice that no other nationalities of teams play favorites due to driver origin? Ferrari doesn't purposely hire only Italians, BMW doesn't just hire germans.

The problem is that there are other drivers who clearly have the talent to compete in F1 but are hampered by the lack of available rides. Sato being one of the long string of drivers who get an F1 ride but never really reach the success of a podium or a win.

Answer 3

He's not an annoying person, when it comes to personality. He is a dangerous, reckless driver though. One of the most unforgettable crashes he's had was the one with Michael. Then Michael climbed out of his car, walked over to Sato and knocked his helmet. He said something to Sato, but it couldn't be heard on air (unfortunately). And later Michael refused to tell the press what he'd said to Sato. Ah, just one of those things that we'll never know...

However, everyone deserves respect and although he's a track hazard, Sato should be respected.

Answer 4

During his early races, Sato was good at driving and i had good predictions on him for the future that he will one of the successful drivers but i think i predicted wrong. He has the talent but he need to work more,,,

Hmmmm, About that LISP, I think it has nothing to do with driving or winning the races, If you have noticed that almost all the champions in the F1 history be it Senna, Fittipaldi, Schumi, Alonso, and some other good drivers like Massa, Kimi are non-English speaking people and almost all of them had the lisp in their speech.......

Answer 5

None of them and I bet that his fans, or only japaneese people are very angry now. Are you a careless driver, or do you have a lisp?!? Anyway, Massa has a lisp too, but none complains about that. Sato is not an annoying person, I think you should have known that.

Answer 6

he is a pionere, a friend of mine considers sato his hero, he not only drives for the japanese, but is also the champion of all lispers every where, thanks to sato he has raised lisp awareness around the world, showing that not only can lispers drive but that they are also people too

Answer 7

lispers are people too? take your PC challenged mentality to the "you are unique; just like ever body else" DON"T HURT MY FEELINGS QUESTION SECTION. as to the question . . .clearly his attempts to take out his own teammate even tho he was no where near the points and his car failure, after car failure, after car failure shows his talent is suspect. as for the lisp; if he lisps in English he surely lisps in Japanese fortunately the Japanese are still free of the PC to be annoyed by that.

Answer 8

I bet his English is better than your Japanese, even with the lisp.

Answer 9

What can you drive better?

Answer 10

he is always fun to watch :o)
