Takuma Sato ran only installation lap in qualifying at Interlagos following a scheduled engine change after practice, and thus didn't set a qualifying time.
The Japanese driver already had a 10-place grid penalty after punting Michael Schumacher out of the Belgian GP, and the engine change meant he was on minus 20 places, making it rather pointless to do a flying lap...

Sato needs to be doing crash testing for elements and oysseys rather than driving f1 cars..
