Toyota targeting points on Sunday

After locking out the front row of the grid in Bahrain two weeks ago, the Toyota team has qualified sixth and seventh ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix this weekend. Whereas Jarno Trulli believes his strategy should gift him places during the race, team-mate Timo Glock admits that gaining a podium position will be a challenge.

A disappointed Glock expected more from qualifying

"It was an interesting and tough qualifying session for me today, particularly Q1 and Q2 when I struggled a little on a low fuel load, but we made it into Q3 which is the main thing," said Trulli, whose best result in Barcelona so far was a third place in 2003. "In Q3 the grip was much better with more fuel onboard and the car reacted well, so I was able to push hard. At the end of the session I managed to put in a very good lap so I am pleased with my performance and think seventh on the grid is pretty good considering the fuel I have onboard."

"I am reasonably satisfied to be starting in the top six, especially as the practice sessions didn't go completely to plan," said Glock, who finished one place further up than in morning practice. "Obviously we hoped to be a bit closer to the front but other teams have made a step forward this weekend and the competition is really close. I've scored points in all the races so far this season and starting from the third row gives me a good opportunity to keep up that run."
