Panasonic Toyota Racing left Silverstone with two points after a
frustrating British Grand Prix at Silverstone today. Hopes were high
for a podium challenge after an extremely competitive qualifying
performance but on another chilly Silverstone afternoon they turned
to disappointment when the red lights went out to signify the start
of the race. Jarno Trulli started on the second row but a launch
issue saw him lose ground off the line to leave him seventh at the
end of the first lap. Timo Glock dropped three places to 11th on the
opening lap. Jarno's first pit stop came on lap 18 and he opted for
another set of soft Bridgestone Potenza tyres, with fast work by the
pit crew moving him up to sixth. Timo made his first pit stop a lap
later and followed the same tyre strategy, emerging again in 11th.
With track temperatures only 30°C, the team chose a short final
stint for both drivers on the hard tyres. Jarno dropped to seventh
but Timo came out ninth and fighting for the final point. As Jarno
brought the car home in seventh, Timo hounded the eighth-placed Kimi
Raikkonen but there was no opportunity to pass.
