Toyota tries to be positive

Jarno Trulli has not often been to such a party as this year. Also, a seventh place on the starting grid. But the Italian is far from his performance in Bahrain, where he took pole position. Despite this loss of performance, Trulli remains optimistic for Sunday's race. “ I managed to lead the car well in Q1 and Q2, when I was low on fuel. In Q3, the conditions were different with more fuel. This seventh time bodes well for the race, given the fuel on board. The strategy is good and I am optimistic for a good result tomorrow. »

For his part, Timo Glock also hopes to experience a race where he can battle with the best. The German driver is also very satisfied with his performance in qualifying. “ I'm quite happy, because our day on Friday did not go as planned. " The pilot Toyota reconnaît même que cette sixième place sur la grille est un bon résultat tant les choses n?étaient pas simples. « I had to battle with the car during free practice and then we worked hard to improve it. So, this sixth place is not a bad result. We can congratulate ourselves on this. »

Timo Glock recognizes that Toyota is hampered in its progress by the progress of other teams. “ We hoped to be better placed but many teams have improved. The competition is now on our heels. » Despite this observation, the German hopes to do as well in Barcelona as in previous races. “ I have scored points in all the races so far. And with this place on the grid, I hope to continue this momentum. Conquering the podium will not be an easy thing but I will do my best. » Highly visible at the start of the season, the Toyota drivers will be there again on Sunday to play the leading roles.
