German Grand Prix - Preview

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

Panasonic Toyota Racing makes the very short journey south of its
Cologne base for the German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring. Only
around 80km separates the team's technical centre from the legendary
track, which first hosted Formula 1 in 1951 and has done so 37 times,
most recently as home to the European Grand Prix. Toyota has a strong
record in qualifying at the Nürburgring, having qualified at least
one car in the top 10 on all of its six previous visits, but only
finished in the points once; Jarno Trulli's eighth place in 2005.
With another set of upgrades to the TF109 for this race, the clear
goal is to rectify that statistic with a strong points finish with
both cars. Following another top-eight finish in the British Grand
Prix at Silverstone last time out, the team has scored in six of the
eight races so far to leave it third in the Constructors'
Championship approaching the mid-point of the season. For his home
race, Timo Glock will wear a special helmet designed by a local
schoolboy, the winner of a Panasonic competition in Germany.
