Next event: Italian Grand Prix Free Practise 1
Countdown
Toyota confidence high for Valencia
Toyota high confidenceToyota returns to action after Formula 1's summer break with the European Grand Prix on the streets of Valencia, Spain this weekend. After a 10-point haul in Hungary, which saw Timo Glock equal the team's best result of second place, expectations are high this weekend and Toyota aims to leave Valencia with more points. 

"We are well prepared for Valencia. Of course, we started our preparations for this new track by looking at the FIA information and that allowed us to put forward some speed profiles in order to estimate downforce and braking requirements, for example," said the team's general manager Pascal Vasselon. "We also sent staff to look at the inaugural race meeting there at the end of July and that gave us additional data with regards to speed profiles, driving lines and track surface."

"We expect the track to be in the mid range of downforce and quite severe on brakes," he added. "At the beginning we anticipate grip will be quite low but that should improve throughout the weekend. In terms of performance, we clearly want to build on the competitiveness shown in Hungary. We are genuinely challenging to be the third quickest car based on the last few races. Valencia will also show how well teams can react to new conditions so it will be an interesting weekend and we have every reason to be feeling very positive."
