After a second SFormula DNF, Oyu_Toshiki0804 insists he wasn't fully to blame for his race-ending clash with Sena Sakaguchi at Autopolis. Story includes video:
TGM Grand Prix driver Oyu registered a second DNF in a row after a botched passing attempt on the Inging machine of Sakaguchi on lap 30 of 41 at the unorthodox location of Turn 11, the fast right-hander at the bottom of the ‘jet coaster’ straight.
“We had no intention of hitting each other, and I was thinking more about going side-by-side with him than passing him there. If he had let me go, I would have overtaken, and if he had been ahead, I was thinking about trying to get the cutback. “I knew Oyu had good pace, and that my real opponent was [Tadasuke] Makino, so I didn’t want to get in the way of Oyu,” said Sakaguchi, who had started third and ran second in the early stages ahead of eventual winner Liam Lawson.
