Panasonic Toyota Racing suffered an extremely disappointing Spanish
Grand Prix at the Circuit de Catalunya. Hopes were high for another
significant points haul when Jarno Trulli and Timo Glock lined up
inside the top eight on the grid but they faded on the first lap.
Jarno's race was short-lived due to an incident on the opening lap.
As the cars fought for position from the start, he was forced wide
and on to the grass at turn two, with his car spinning back onto the
track. He was hit by Adrian Sutil, causing extensive damage and
ending his race instantly. Timo's car was slow off the mark and he
lost positions before the first corner, ending the first lap in
eighth. His first pit stop came on lap 17 when he swapped his worn
set of soft Bridgestone Potenza tyres for new ones. He fought hard to
regain a place in the top eight and on lap 47 made his final pit stop,
this time for hard tyres. He battled to the last lap to improve his
position but, on a track where overtaking is difficult, missed out on
points for the first time this season.
