Toyota seek answers for suspension issues

Toyota have launched a full investigation into the suspension failures that Jarno Trulli suffered in practice for the Canadian Grand Prix

The Japanese car manufacturer are eager to find an answer as to why the front right suspension of Trulli's car broke twice on the kerbs at Turn Eight of the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

Work is ongoing at the track and at the team's Cologne factory, with Trulli admitting that he does not know what they will do if they cannot find an answer overnight.

"If you are a driver then things can happen once, but when it happens again you will start thinking twice before you get in a car at a circuit where there are not huge run off areas and high speed corners," Trulli told autosport.com.

Amid speculation that Toyota could be forced to pull out of the race if no answer is found as to the cause of the problem, Trulli said he was unsure what the team would do under such circumstances.

"I have no idea at the moment," he said. "The team are on the case and we will see. It's not a good day at all.

"I am a racing driver so if I have to go out tomorrow then I will go out, but you will always have a question mark."

Toyota's technical chief Pascal Vasselon said he hoped the team would find an answer within the next few hours.

"We are confident that we will find a solution," he said. "But we first want to analyse what has happened. We have quite a few people in Cologne looking at it, and without their feedback it is difficult to talk a lot about it."

When asked whether there was a danger of the team needing to pull out of the race, Vasselon said: "It's a little bit early to talk about that. It is only Friday afternoon.

"There is no point talking about that. We have to analyse what has happened and that will take a couple of hours."
