Glock’s Toyota fastest at Jerez Tuesday

Timo Glock when the track was still wet

Following yesterday's rain, it was back to sunnier weather for the F1 teams in action at Jerez today. The showers continued until shortly before the start of testing but the sun appeared soon afterwards. The tarmac took two hours to dry out but after that there was dry running for the rest of the day. Timo Glock spent the morning putting in a race simulation in the Toyota TF109. He completed the run without any problems in the changing conditions before moving on to set-up work, setting the day's fastest lap during a late qualifying simulation. Jarno Trulli is scheduled to take over for the next two days.

"That was a productive day," said Glock. "This morning we were again a bit unlucky with the conditions, which made the race simulation quite tough. But it was useful to find out when to change to slick tires and our pace wasn't bad. Then we got some dry running for the rest of the day. We did a lot of set-up work and late on we did some shorter runs to make it through the program. We've made it through a lot of miles over these two days and we're making useful progress."

"Overall it was a good day", Kubica said after completing his third day of testing in Jerez. "We were able to make up some of the time we lost yesterday when rain meant we had to change our schedule. I started on extreme wet tires, changed to wet tires and finally drove slick tires. Together with the various different set-up solutions I tried that helped me get an even better feeling for the car."
