Will Panasonic Toyota Racing shine again in the mid-summer heat?

The Hungaroring will set the stage for the 10th race of the 2009 F1 season. Featuring numerous turns, one after another, this course presents almost no place for overtaking. As with Monaco, qualifying high here is essential. The average speed of this circuit is comparatively slow. Races generally last for nearly two hours in the mid-summer heat, frequently becoming games of endurance that sap the energy and strength out of the drivers. Front setup is key to fast times on this track—car behavior going into the turns is of the utmost importance. This track might be particularly suited to Timo's style of driving. In fact, Timo won his first podium finish for Panasonic Toyota Racing at this race last year. Expectations are high for two top finishes this year.
