Sato is first to arrive in Bahrain

Takuma Sato was the first Formula 1 driver to arrive in Bahrain, flying into the Kingdom on Sunday night. Many of the F1 team crews have already arrived and have been setting up at the circuit.

Sato is planning to spend the next few days training in the heat of Bahrain so that he will be fully acclimatised when the practice begins on Friday.
