Salo replaced by Takagi

Published on 01 March 1999 by Marc van Beelen

The TWR Arrows team announced this morning that Toranosuke Takagi replaces Mika Salo for the coming season. Before the decision was taken, the team had long meetings with the Fin, but it looks to be that the sponsor money of the Japanese driver has forced the decision in favour of Takagi. Toranosuke Takagi brings in 4 million Pounds Sterling of sponsorship money from the Japanese company PIAA. Mika Salo has no comment yet on the teams' decision.
