May 28 (GMM) Japanese driver Takuma Sato at Monaco attended his first grand prix weekend since Super Aguri folded prior to the Istanbul race earlier this month.
The 31-year-old, who also lives in Monte Carlo, told reporters at the circuit last weekend that he had been given a paddock pass by formula one's Japanese tyre supplier, Bridgestone.It is thought he decided to attend Monaco and meet with reporters simply to make it clear that he is still chasing a future in the sport."I do not want to retire but at the moment I do not know in what way I will be coming back," Sato said.He added that he has received some racing offers from outside F1, but seemed to reject rumours of a possible job with Renault by insisting that no solid grand prix-related offers are on the table.
