Zoom A good run from Trulli compromised

Toyota leaves Barcelona with one point after Jarno Trulli finished in eighth position. An error saw Trulli pit when he did not need to, losing position to Jenson Button and Kazuki Nakajima. Timo Glock meanwhile struggled for pace from the start after damaging his wing and later ran into the back of David Coulthard on his way to 11th of the 13 runners.

Jarno Trulli
"We've scored another point but it should have been more today. This race wasn't easy but everything was going well and we were heading for sixth. Then a communications error led to the team mistakenly calling me into the pits. These things happen but that cost us two precious points today. Up to then it had been a hard weekend but we were heading for a strong result. It was a battle but I was getting the maximum out of the package and doing my best to stay as close to Webber as possible. We are in a tight group of teams and we will have to keep pushing hard on development to maintain our momentum."

Timo Glock
"The start didn't go well and on the way down to the first corner I lost two or three positions. Then a car crossed in front of me and damaged my front wing. That heavily affected the first stint as I lost some aero performance and it meant we had the whole race in traffic. The car felt much better after we changed the nose at the pit stop. But later on Coulthard came out in front of me and he was slow on his out lap. He left me a bit of space and then closed it and I crashed into him. It destroyed my front wing again and that was it."

Tadashi Yamashina, Team Principal
"This fourth race weekend has been tough from the beginning on Friday practice, through qualifying to today. Still, everybody worked hard and did their best - including the drivers - and we were heading for a very strong result. Then one error cost us. After Timo's collision there was confusion between the cars and Jarno received the wrong message. So we must analyse what happened and make sure we avoid this mistake in the future. At the next race we will do our best again and hope for a better result."
