press release : European Grand Prix – Sunday Race Round-Up
A difficult afternoon’s work at the European Grand Prix saw Panasonic Toyota Racing’s Jarno Trulli pick up a point for 8th place. Trulli made a strong start to be up to third early on but a drive through penalty earned for a starting grid infringement by the team dropped him down the order. A gritty drive from there ensured that the Italian secured another points finish. Ralf Schumacher had an even harder race after he became involved in a first corner clash and had to pit for a new nose. He was battling up through the field when he spun shortly after half distance. After a successful evening of haute cuisine by German chef Johann Lafer on Saturday this result was slightly harder to swallow but it keeps Toyota in 3rd place in the constructors’ championship on 44 points. more..

Team mate Ralf Schumacher also became embroiled in a first corner accident and had to make an unscheduled pit stop, so both drivers' chances of challenging for the podium were over before the end of the first lap. more..
