Jarno Trulli at the wheel of the TF108El buen tiempo continuó en Barcelona durante el último día de las pruebas oficiales de invierno antes del inicio de la temporada 2008 de Fórmula 1. Panasonic Toyota Racing utilizó el tiempo disponible para llevar a cabo los últimos preparativos para el Gran Premio de Australia, ahora ha poco más de dos semanas. Los pilotos Jarno Trulli y Timo Glock han llevado a cabo los últimos ajustes antes de la primera carrera. Jarno incluso ha establecido el mejor tiempo del día, en una vuelta de calificación cuando la pista estaba en su mejor durante la mañana. Terminó con 83 vueltas mientras que Timo ha dado 65 después de un día más alterado. La próxima vez que Toyota estará en la pista con los demás equipos será en la parrilla de la F1 durante la práctica del viernes 14 de marzo.

WINTER WARM-UP

Best lap time: 1m 20.801s
Position: 1st
Total laps: 83
Total distance: 386.4km
“That was another positive day. We made some progress in understanding the car and the set-up. Even though this is only a test, it’s nice to see the mechanics and the guys smiling because today’s times are good motivation. There is still room for improvement but this shows the team has done a good job over the winter tests. Of course we won’t know the real running order until Melbourne but I’m quite confident for the season. It’s definitely looking much better than last year so I’m happy for the team.”

Timo Glock – Chassis TF108-04
Best lap time: 1m 22.155s
Position: 11th
Total laps: 65
Total distance: 302.6km
“Today was a frustrating day for me. I didn’t find a way to set up the car to my driving style and the pace suffered as a result. It’s strange that on the first morning we had okay pace then it’s been dropping off during the week. Perhaps the problem is the hard tyre but we will have to analyse all the data. At the moment it doesn’t bode well for Australia but we have a couple of weeks to turn things around.”

Pascal Vasselon, Senior General Manager Chassis
“Given the mixed weather we faced here last week it was important to complete more running over these three days. This week shows that our preparations for Melbourne have been going very well. After Jarno’s satisfying long run yesterday we did some very fruitful qualifying simulations today so we feel ready for the first race. Timo was more unfortunate to have a small off at the start of his qualifying simulation, compromising his run plan today. But we have done enough mileage so far over the winter to be confident that we can head to Melbourne without any major concerns.”
