Toyota Boss Downbeat after Pointless Race

Toyota boss Ove Andersson said he was very disappointed with the performance of his team in today's Austrian Grand Prix.

Brazilian CART champion Cristiano da Matta was the only Toyota finisher today, although the rookie did it outside the points in 10th position. Frenchman Olivier Panis, meanwhile, continued with his miserable season, retiring for the fifth time in six races.

Andersson said the team should learn from the weekend and look to improve at the Monaco Grand Prix in two weeks time.

"I am very disappointed," admitted Andersson. "This whole weekend we have not found a good set-up on the car. We struggled badly on Friday morning and have spent the rest of the weekend trying to catch up. Cristiano did well to get tenth after the problem at the start with his launch system put him at the back of the grid.

"As for Olivier, I just cannot believe how one man can have such bad luck. The only thing we can do is to learn from this weekend and look to improve for the next race, but I am done with making predictions, so I am not going to give a Monaco forecast."
