Final push sees Toyota drivers in the top ten

TOYOTA will line up with two cars in the top ten of the starting grid for the Petronas Malaysian F1 Grand Prix after a strong qualifying session yesterday.
The three sessions were hard-fought but both Jarno Trulli and Ralf Schumacher made it for the final shoot-out for the second consecutive race.
In the final shoot-out involving the ten fastest cars, Toyota brought new softer compound tyres in due to the threat of rain.
Trulli set the eighth fastest time just ahead of Schumacher at the end of the final qualifying session.
Trulli, who clocked 1:36.902 in the final session, was happy they were able to run the car in qualifying trim.
“I missed some running this morning due to an electrical problem but I still had a better balance than yesterday.
“Now we have to see how we can do tomorrow (today). I'm confident because I've always done good races here in Malaysia and the car has always performed better here than at some other circuits,” said the Italian.
His best memories in the Malaysian GP was achieved in 2005, where he finished second for Toyota.
It was also their first podium finish since they entered F1 in 2002. Schumacher finished fifth that year.
Schumacher and Trulli finished eighth and ninth respectively at Sepang last year.
Schumacher, who finished eighth in Melbourne last month, also echoed the same thing.
“Its good to get both cars into the top 10 again. This weekend has been relatively difficult for me because there has not been much grip out there and I've had a few balance problems.
“Thats why I've been struggling a bit but overall I'm happy. We've had no major problems and no reliability issues so we can look forward to tomorrow.
