Yasuaki Asaki

Pushing back on the F1 engine in his second year

He was transferred to the engine development team of Honda's second F1 era. He confronted his superior over an engine with an extremely big bore, saying, "Of course it breaks," and was lectured almost every night at a yakitori shop in Narimasu.
