Panasonic Toyota Racing 2009 Spanish Grand Prix - Qualifying Round-Up

Circuit de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain

Panasonic Toyota Racing will line up with both cars inside the top eight for the Spanish Grand Prix after a closely-fought qualifying session at the Circuit de Catalunya today. Having fine-tuned the set-up of the TF109 overnight and in final practice, Jarno Trulli and Timo Glock took to the track on a sunny day with a slight breeze which saw track temperatures reach 41°C and air temperatures 21°C. The first qualifying session was typically hectic and, after starting with the hard Bridgestone Potenza, they made it into Q2 using the soft options. The battle to reach the top 10 was particularly tense but, again using the soft tyres, Jarno and Timo delivered on their last flying laps to progress, with Timo breaking into the top three. The final session saw three flying laps each on used soft tyres before one final flat-out run on a new set in the closing moments, which delivered promising grid positions for tomorrow's race.

Sakhir, Sunday April 26

Panasonic Toyota Racing is celebrating its third podium of 2009 after Jarno Trulli took third place at today's Bahrain Grand Prix. On another sweltering day, Jarno started on pole with Timo alongside him on P2, both on the super soft tyre. Both cars made good starts but Timo edged in front into the first corner. The pair were closely matched early on, building up a cushion over the third placed car as Jarno set the race's fastest lap. Timo pitted on lap 11 and Jarno took advantage of his extra lap of fuel, jumping ahead at his first stop. Both drivers swapped to the medium compound tyre and Jarno ran second after the first round of stops. But Timo struggled for grip on his heavy fuel load and he brought his second stop forward to lap 33, fuelling to the end on the super soft tyre. Jarno also took the super soft tyres when he pitted on lap 37, battling hard en route to the podium. Timo added another two valuable points with 7th. Toyota was already celebrating in Bahrain as third driver Kamui Kobayashi wrapped up the GP2 Asia championship on Saturday.
