Commentators reacting to Sato's #Indy500 win is gold

Indianapolis - Takuma Sato won the 101st running of the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, becoming the first Japanese driver to triumph in America's iconic race.

Sato passed three-time winner Helio Castroneves in the waning laps and held on to win, laying the ghost of a heartbreak at "The Brickyard" in 2012.

"Unbelievable feeling!" a beaming Sato declared as he accepted a bear-hug of congratulations from Andretti Autosport team boss Michael Andretti.

While the team's joyous celebrations were captured on TV, most people missed out on Japanese commentators reacting to their compatriot's milestone.
