Toyota is back in action for the British Grand Prix this weekend after barely a break since the race at Magny-Cours last Sunday. The team heads back to Silverstone following a frustrating weekend in France. The team feels well prepared for this weekend's race after testing set-ups and comparing medium and soft Bridgestone tyre compounds at the British circuit last month.
"We had a successful test at Silverstone two weeks ago so we approach the British Grand Prix with confidence," said Toyota chassis chief Pascal Vasselon. "We evaluated some aero elements of our upgraded package, which we used in France, as well as looking at set-up for this race. We will have the same aero package for this race as we used at Magny-Cours because the requirements of the two tracks are similar, although not identical."
"The test at Silverstone went smoothly," he added. "Both drivers felt the car was very reasonable at high speed so we are confident of scoring points again this weekend after a disappointing race in France."
