Reliability woes strike Toyota
The lion’s share of the gremlins afflicted Jarno Trulli, who completed only 33 laps and finished at the bottom of the timesheets.
“Today was the hardest day of the test for me," said the Italian, who will hand over his TF107 to test driver Franck Montagny for the final day. I had gearbox issues and an engine problem so I could not do much proper running. We have one more test before the start of the season so hopefully we can make improvements. There are some issues that we need to fix but obviously that is what testing is for and I remain confident."
Chassis chief Pascal Vasselon admitted it had been a day of mixed fortunes.
“Jarno went through quite a lot of problems and we are not really happy with the reliability record on his car today," he said. “Still, despite this lack of running, his programme has been very fruitful. It has been useful in terms of results and they have been interesting."
