"We've
done quite a good job overall this weekend preparing for qualifying and
the race. I had to make some adjustments during the first part of
qualifying but in the end fortunately I got the set-up right. That
meant that I could find the right balance and get back on the pace. In
Q2 I was 4th and Timo was 5th so it shows that the Toyotas are going
well. Q3 was a bit of a mystery because as soon as we put the fuel on
the car was rather unbalanced and we lost a lot of grip. So I wasn't so
happy about the pace of Q3 but maybe its down to the different fuel
levels. Now we must go for a strong result for everyone here in front
of our own fans and we must fight really hard until the end tomorrow."
Timo Glock (Car 12, Chassis TF108-07)

Q3 8th Best Lap Time: 1m 19.118s (+0.714s) Laps: 6
"We
have to be happy with how qualifying went in the end. This morning's
rain didn't really help us because we would have liked to have more
rubber on the asphalt. Instead it was quite low grip but still Q1 was
quite easy. I was quickest and I had a really good feeling. But after
that we struggled to get the most out of the softer tyre on heavy fuel
and we are slightly further back than we'd hoped. There are a couple of
places where you can overtake here so let's see what happens tomorrow.
What is great is the home support we've had here. There are so many
Toyota fans and now we have both cars in the top ten we have a good
chance to get both cars into the points."
Pascal Vasselon - Senior General Manager Chassis
"This
was a clear improvement compared to last year when we failed to get our
cars into Q3. Overall the qualifying sessions went very well. In both
Q1 and Q2 both drivers were very quick, with Timo the fastest of all in
Q1 and Jarno less than three tenths off in Q2. Given that, we are
slightly disappointed by the positions we had in Q3, but as usual it's
really a matter of where people will stop tomorrow. Considering the
situation with tyres we feel that we have the ideal strategy for
tomorrow. Both drivers did a good job and we are where we deserved to
be. This morning we had the only wet conditions of the weekend - unlike
last year - and we saw that even in the case of rain we are
competitive. Now we must look to make the most of these positions in
tomorrow's race in front of our home fans."
