Mugello, Oct 01: Two weeks after Jenson Button crashed at Jerez, it is now another BAR driver's turn to hit the barriers.
Takuma Sato had an accident this morning at Mugello during a private testing session. The reserve BAR driver lost control of his car approaching the first corner of the track. Sato's car made contact with the protection wall and the impact slightly injured Sato's ankle.
The Japanese driver was sent to the medical centre for the usual check-ups.
According to his team, the car is not too much damaged and will probably be repaired on time to be back and running tomorrow.
