Spain Friday quotes: Toyota

"So in the end it was not much of a problem and hopefully we will have a good day tomorrow. We had a positive test here last week and I made some progress with setting up the car to my liking. It seems to be working well again so I remain hopeful of an improvement."

Jarno Trulli - 18th: "That was a solid day's work but as usual at Barcelona the wind made things difficult out there. All the teams have made a big effort for the first European race so this weekend we'll get a clearer idea of what direction the championship is taking.

"Barcelona is a good reference circuit and our car behaved well at last week's test here. But everyone was running different programmes today so we will have to wait for tomorrow to find out where we all stand. I hope we can continue our run of good results and make the points again."

Dieter Gass - Chief Engineer Race and Test: "Like most teams we have come here with a major aerodynamic upgrade including new wings, engine cover and floor. We had quite a promising session this morning, making it very smoothly through our programme and setting some competitive lap times.

"But we struggled a bit in the afternoon session with both cars. This is partly because we were concentrating on long run preparation for the race but we also had some mechanical issues on the car which we have to look into. Nevertheless, we have collected all the data we need about the tyres and based on our morning performance we are confident for the rest of the weekend."
