Sato a Dangerous Man, Says Trulli

Jarno Trulli has called on motor racing's governing body to take action against Takuma Sato, following a collision between the two men today in the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka

The Toyota driver, who is a member of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association, believes the time has come for Sato to be warned about his behaviour after the latest in a series of clashes that the Japanese driver has been involved in.

Sato and Trulli collided at the chicane early in the Japanese Grand Prix -- with Trulli coming off worse as his Toyota spun into retirement.

Speaking to ITV, Trulli did not hold back in claiming that Sato should be punished.

"I think we have a dangerous person on the track and we have seen that for a few years," said Trulli. "The federation (FIA) has to take action because his move was impossible."

When asked whether he would have a word with Sato about their incident, Trulli said: "No. There is no point talking to him, because he has done this before and he keeps doing it. So that means he is not going to change."

Only last month Sato came under fire from former World Champion Michael Schumacher following a collision they had at the Belgian Grand Prix.
