Hungary Preview Quotes: Toyota

Olivier Panis: "After picking up four points in Hockenheim and a couple of weeks of holiday, I am ready to push hard in the final four rounds of this year's championship, starting this weekend in Hungary. The Hungaroring is not used mush during the year. As a result, it is very dusty on the first day and there is only one racing line. It is a low-speed track and particularly tough due to the lack of overtaking possibilities. I know the track has been modified for this year and I am looking forward to trying it on Friday. I hope the changes create some new passing points. The team has worked hard to get up to 6th in the championship, so my aim is to score more points to build on the recent achievements."

Cristiano da Matta: "I have never even been to Hungary before, let alone raced at the Hungaroring. Many drivers have told me that it is impossible to overtake on this track, but I'm hoping the recent modifications will improve this. The track appears to be very tight and of the remaining four circuits on the calendar, I expect this one to be the most problematic for our TF103 race car. We will have to be more methodical and careful in our approach to this race because qualifying and strategy will be more critical than usual. Nevertheless, we will try our hardest to continue our ever-improving performance and get more points in the bag. Having spent some relaxing days in Brazil since Hockenheim, I feel fully refreshed to do just that."

Ove Andersson, Team Principal: "Even though we find ourselves lying in 6th place in the championship with fourteen points, I am not going to get carried away. We have made vast improvements to the car and the team operations in the second half of this season, but our targets must remain realistic ­ to score more top ten qualifying results and to get more points in the remaining four races of the season. The low-speed characteristics of the Hungaroring may not suit our car as well as some other tracks, although I will reserve final judgement until Friday practice. One thing is for sure, the whole team is fully committed to our aim of scoring more top 8 results and in the process we will do our utmost to retain this sixth place and hopefully go one better."
