23 April: San Marino Grand Prix - Saturday Qualifying Report - Toyota Panasonic Toyota Racing will look to put both cars into the points at Sunday's San Marino Grand Prix after Jarno Trulli and Ralf Schumacher took 6th and 12th places respectively on the provisional grid. After a haul of 25 points from the last two races the team stands in second place in the constructors' championship. Now both drivers are in good shape to add to that total tomorrow afternoon. Sixth Sense Jarno Trulli (Car 16, Chassis TF105/02) "That was a pretty good qualifying session for me, and I managed to put together a clear lap to keep up my record of top six finishes from first qualifying this year. Obviously we knew this would be a tougher weekend than the last two races, but we are still in a strong position on a very tight grid. Now we hope to capitalize on that tomorrow so that we can add a few more points to my season's tally so far." Data
in the diary Ralf Schumacher (Car 17, Chassis TF105/04) "That was a very tight qualifying session. It was obviously not a perfect lap from me, and it ended up slightly slower than I would have liked. I took it slightly easy in the first sector, but apart from that it was a pretty clear lap with no real mistakes so we will have to take a look at the data to try and see where we lost time. Nonetheless I think our car performs well whatever the fuel load so I'm looking forward to the race and confident that we can push and make the points. That would be a good way to keep up our strong form so far this year." Miked Up Mike Gascoyne - Technical Director Chassis "Overall that was a solid performance. It was a very tight qualifying session and both drivers did a reasonable job with the car. We don't seem to have quite the pace that we had in the last couple of races due to the nature of the circuit. But the car is still very competitive and it was a good qualifying performance from Jarno. Ralf was a little less happy with the car, which is a shame because it was very tight and one tenth would have picked up several places. Looking ahead to second qualifying we obviously have to look at strategy because a good choice could pick up several positions on such a tight grid. But so far the weekend has gone pretty much as we expected and now we have to look to get two cars into the points." 2005 San Marino Grand Prix - Main Page Latest Formula 1 News from Toyota: Trulli extends contract with Toyota (28/07/2006)Toyota to supply Williams with engines (27/07/2006) Barcelona Test Update (25/01/2006) Jerez Test Update (19/01/2006) Jerez Test Update (18/01/2006) Jerez Test Update (17/01/2006) Panasonic Toyota Racing kick-starts 2006 on home ground (14/01/2006) Toyota TF106 Technical Specifications (14/01/2006) Luca Marmorini Q & A (Engine) (14/01/2006) Mike Gascoyne Q & A (Chassis) (14/01/2006) More news from Toyota F1
