Toyota drivers sum up the week's test session

Cristiano da Matta:

"It has been a rather mixed session for me. We had quite an extensive
technical programme covering set-up work, reliability checks and tyre
testing but we encountered all sorts of small problems in different
areas of the car throughout the two days I was driving. So far the
reliability of the TF104 had been perfect, and these things happen,
but it is a bit frustrating. Imola will be our last test before flying
to Australia and for sure we will all be 100% focused to finalise
preparations for the first race."

Ricardo Zonta:

"We had two good and productive days, constantly improving in many
areas. I must say that I like being kept so busy completing a lot of
laps. We worked on the various control systems of the car and made some
solid progress with electronics. Looking ahead to Melbourne, we also
managed some good tyre testing. Today, I switched to the TF104 but we
could not get much done on such a wet track. In that respect, I am glad
I had the chance to get a proper feel for the new car last week in Paul
Ricard."

Ryan Briscoe:

"I took the wheel of the TF103 car this morning and, seeing the track
conditions, we decided to go for some small tyre test and set-up work.
But in the end the track was so wet that I only did two proper laps. It
never improved through the day and I am glad I will be testing again in
Imola next week on Thursday hopefully under more friendly skies."
