24 April 2005 PANASONIC TOYOTA RACING 24 April 2005 PANASONIC TOYOTA RACING: SUNDAY QUALIFYING ROUND-UP After rain this morning, the second qualifying session was held on an Imola track that improved with every run. But clean laps from both Panasonic Toyota Racing drivers mean Jarno Trulli and Ralf Schumacher will line up in 5th and 10th respectively for the San Marino Grand Prix. With the weather still unpredictable there is a lot to play for this afternoon. DADDY COOL New father Jarno Trulli will start the San Marino Grand Prix from 5th on the grid after a smooth second qualifying lap this morning. He will be starting from the clean side of the track and looking to take his TF105 to yet another points finish. Jarno Trulli (Car 16, Chassis TF105/02) Second Qualifying Classification: 5th Lap Time: 1m 24.026s (+1.032s) Laps: 3 Aggregate Qualifying Classification: 5th Agg Time: 2m 44.518s (+1.638s) Grid: 5th "I never expected to be so high up in qualifying here, so this is a good result. I thought it would have been more difficult this morning on old tyres, but instead I was happy with the balance of the car and I did a good lap time. The race could still be difficult because we'll have to see how well we can keep our pace up over longer distances. The weather could yet play a part too but I will be doing my best to take another points finish." INTO THE TOP TEN ...2 Ralf Schumacher had to put in his run early in the session when the conditions were not at their best. But a tidy lap saw him edge up two places to 10th on the grid for this afternoon's race. Unlike Jarno, he will be starting on the dirty side of the grid. Ralf Schumacher (Car 17, Chassis TF105/04) Second Qualifying Classification: 11th Lap Time: 1m 24.422s (+1.228s) Laps: 3 Aggregate Qualifying Classification: 11th Agg. Time: 2m 45.416s (+2.536s) Grid: 10th "It was another clean lap for me, with no real problems, but the conditions were such that everyone was going to go quicker with each run. But that's the way it is so we have to make the best of it. Looking ahead to this afternoon the race might start off quite boring because it's so difficult to overtake here, but we could have some racing towards the end. One way or another we hope we can come away with more points." MOVING ON UP The improving track conditions during second qualifying made it difficult to make significant gains for this afternoon's grid, but Panasonic Toyota Racing is happy to have moved both drivers into the top ten. Mike Gascoyne – Technical Director Chassis "That was quite a satisfying qualifying session for us. It was always going to be difficult to pick up places with the track improving throughout the session because it meant that the cars who went after you were going to have a better track. So I think we can be very satisfied with 5th and 10th on the grid. Our weather forecast is predicting probably no more rain, but we'll have to see. Either way I'm sure we can have a strong race and get both cars in the points."

I hope you enjoy the irst taste of our beautiful green and yellow car, and I hope you enjoy reading this; an honest and open insight, written from the heart of the team. When I was asked to pick one word to describe Team Lotus, a million looded into my mind! But eventually I had to come back to where it all started for me – dreams. Team Lotus is about dreams, and those dreams becoming reality. I remember when I was a boy, running a hole in the carpet with my model Lotus Formula One™ car. I had dreams then, I still do, but what I hope to inspire is the belief that if you dare to dream, you can achieve great things. Colin Chapman created the last dynasty and it’s one that inspires me and all my team to do more, think more, be more every day. But now it is time for us to create our own legend.

  • Forgotten F1 Teams – Spyker F1 Welcome to Forgotten F1 Teams – a Miniseries Brought to You by Sidepodcast
    Forgotten F1 Teams – Spyker F1 Welcome to Forgotten F1 Teams – a miniseries brought to you by Sidepodcast. We’re looking at those teams who deserve a place in the history books, whether it is for greatness, or mediocrity. Today we’re getting right up to date with our fifth team – Spyker F1. The roots of current Formula One team Force India F1 start way back in 1991 with Jordan Grand Prix. They have been through several iterations in recent times, and today we’re going to talk about just one of them. Jordan was bought by Midland F1 who were bought by Spyker. Spyker Cars are a relatively new Dutch automotive company, although the name dates back to the early 1900s. This new, modern version of Spyker was founded in 1999, and they build high performance sports cars. They did have a little motorsport experience, building and running GT cars. The key to their entrance into Formula 1 seems to be with Michiel Mol, a wealthy internet entrepreneur. He had previously sponsored Jos Verstappen, and wanted to further his involvement with the sport. His new deal saw him invest in Spyker Cars, to help them invest in F1, to the tune of over $100 million. He became their Director of F1 Racing. The deal with Midland was completed mid‐way through the 2006 season. Current drivers Christijan Albers and Tiego Monteiro were kept on, whilst the team set about trying to change their name. The regulations frown upon mid‐ season name changes, though, so Spyker stuck to being a title sponsor – Spyker MF1 Racing.

  • Atlas F1 Magazine: Title Technical Analysis: Toyota TF104 End Title
    Atlas F1 Magazine: title Technical Analysis: Toyota TF104 end title Technical Analysis: Toyota TF104 By Craig Scarborough, England Atlas F1 Technical Writer The Toyota team start their third year in Formula One with revived hopes, bigger ambitions, a new management and, above all, a completely new car. But will the new Japanese racer be up to the team's demands? Atlas F1's Technical Writer Craig Scarborough takes a closer look at the TF104 After avoiding the curse of a bad second season Toyota, the team with the most potential to break into the top four, revealed their all new car for 2004. While the car looks a lot like its predecessor the problems in its forebear have been understood and redesigned. Toyota's resulting TF104 is a completely new design, with nothing carried over from the TF103; even the wheels, pedals and steering wheel are new. Going into the new season they also boast a new Technical director in Mike Gascoyne, who will tap into the resources and potential of the team. Lastly the engine team went about the work of ensuring the engine lasts all weekend with a development programme dovetailed into its 2003 programme; the engine ended the year ready for the new rules and still had a winter of development ahead of it. Last Season Toyota spent their second full season in F1 last year with a third or more of their engineers having tested a car continuously in 2001. Many teams are often hit by the spectre of a bad second year after a surprisingly good first year.

  • I Hear He's Quite Handy with a Pencil and Some CFD
    Sidepodchat – I hear he’s quite handy with a pencil and some CFD Mr C: Welcome to Sidepodchat - I hear he's quite handy with a pencil and some CFD. So we are joined here, it's Wednesday evening following the Turkish Grand Prix, and Formula One has woken up. The very, very quiet season that we've been having thus far kicked off with an almighty bang this weekend, with controversy at Red Bull and at McLaren, and it seemed like a pretty good time to bring up an idea we've been mulling over for a while, and that is to bring back Sidepodchat in a mini, compact version. And that is, what we'd like to do is to pick one subject, something that's on people's minds and people may have an opinion about one way or the other. We're going to record for exactly ten minutes, and the discussion will be with three, maybe more people, and we'll do our best to stay on topic and focus on one issue of the week. I think we've probably, this week, over-analysed the Red Bull situation and we've also... there's a chance that some people might be just a bit sick of it. We've also discussed in depth things going on at McLaren. What happened today though, is quite interesting, and that is Lotus came out with a statement that they are aggressively employing members of other teams, notably members of the Force India team. And so this week's discussion is to do with what's going on at Lotus, what Mike Gascoyne is up to, what we think is going to happen to Force India now that many of their key employees have exited or will be exiting soon.
