Monaco Grand Prix – Preview

======================================================================

Panasonic Toyota Racing heads to the most glamorous and famous
destination in Formula 1 for the Monaco Grand Prix on the twisty,
barrier-lined streets of the Principality. The Monaco track is
comfortably the shortest on the Formula 1 calendar but is
nevertheless one of the toughest, with almost 4,000 gear changes
during a race as the 18 corners arrive in quick succession. Jarno
Trulli knows these streets better than most as the 2004 Monaco Grand
Prix winner while Timo Glock has finished on the podium in the
Principality in GP2. Last year’s trip to Monaco was a disappointment
for Toyota, with rain on race day leaving both cars outside the top
10 despite promising qualifying performances. The TF109s will be
tuned for maximum downforce and the team is highly motivated to
bounce back with a strong performance in Monaco after a disappointing
Spanish Grand Prix saw Timo finish 10th and Jarno retire after a
first-lap accident.
