Toyota duo bounce back from shunts

Panis will start seventh, with rookie da Matta - whose shunt stopped free practice this morning - is ninth.

"I am pleased with the results of qualifying today - for myself, Cristiano and the whole team," said Panis. "We had some problems in practice this morning. I made a spin in the first session, which caused some damage to the car, but everybody in the team reacted very well to get the car in a good shape for qualifying. We appear to be reasonably competitive here and starting from seventh and ninth, we are in a good position for the race."

Da Matta said: "The only dry running we have done this weekend were the few laps I completed in the warm-up. As a result, there is still some work to be done on improving my driving finesse around this track. All things considered, the qualifying lap was quite a good effort and I have gone one better than my previous best qualifying result in Monaco, and I look forward to seeing what we can do from ninth in tomorrow's race."
