“There’s no excuse, it’s entirely my fault, so I’m sorry for the team.' Nobu_Mat13's Fuji SFormula race was over before it had even begun following a formation lap spin:
B-Max Racing driver Matsushita was due to start the race from ninth place, but instead lost control as he was trying to get heat in his wheels on his way to the grid.
“It was my mistake,” Matsushita told Motorsport.com’s Japanese edition. “I lost control while spinning up the wheels and the engine stopped. In the end I couldn’t start. Motorsport.com understands the fact that Matsushita was allowed to start from the pits was down to a simple communication error on the part of race control.
“When you get towed you are treated the same way as a car that got stuck in the gravel and had to retire,” explained Matsushita. “From now on I’ll do my best to make up for it.”
