GANBATTE ~TAKU~!!!
The last "favorite driver of The Pond", Takuma Sato, won the Indy 500!
He had to get past former F1 driver Max Chilton, then keep Helio Castroneves, who was looking for his fourth Indy 500 win, behind him for a handful of laps.
In 2012's Indy 500, Sato was in second place behind Scotland's Dario Franchitti with one lap to go. He tried to go under Franchitti into Turn 1 and wound up in the wall instead. He'd never been so close before or since. Until today.
We here at F1U! aren't afraid to say we were cheering for "Super" Sato loudly in the final few laps. We're also not afraid to say that the Indy 500 was a damnsight more interesting than Monaco was.

Yeah, I was rooting for him too. I would have liked to have seen Castroneves get his 4th win, but this is good too.
