Panasonic Toyota Racing made a promising start to practice for the
British Grand Prix at Silverstone on a windy, cloudy day at the
birthplace of the Formula 1 World Championship. In contrast to the
last race in Turkey, track temperatures were a moderate 34°C while
the air temperature was a relatively chilly 17°C. With revisions to
the TF109 to test before the decisive business of qualifying and the
race, Jarno Trulli and Timo Glock were kept busy comparing different
set-ups in the morning. In the afternoon the focus switched to the
hard and soft Bridgestone Potenza tyres, last used together just two
weeks ago in the Turkish Grand Prix. In Istanbul the difference
between the two compounds, especially in qualifying, was not as great
as anticipated but with lower track temperatures today, tyre
behaviour needed re-evaluating. Both drivers completed more than a
race distance over the two sessions leaving the team in good shape
for the rest of the weekend.
