Trulli undecided over Toyota set-ups

Jarno Trulli took over driving duties from Timo Glock at Paul Ricard for day two of Toyota's three-day test in the south of France. His programme focused on finalising aerodynamic set-ups for the Monaco Grand Prix next week, as well as gathering information on the soft and super soft compound Bridgestone Potenza tyres that will be used. 

"I went through the programme but I can't honestly say that I detected too much difference with the various set-ups that we tried," said Trulli. "It was the first time that I have driven the TF108 in high downforce configuration but there was not that much difference in feel. I'm not sure whether that is just a characteristic of this circuit."

Gerd Pfeiffer, test team manager commented, "We ran a similar programme as we did yesterday, except adapted to Jarno's set-up. We experimented with some different brakes and a range of different wings and aerodynamic settings. We had no mechanical problems and thankfully the rain that arrived around lunchtime did not affect our running in the afternoon. We completed the schedule and on Friday we will turn our attention to preparations for Montreal on a different circuit layout."
