Panasonic Toyota Racing drivers Jarno Trulli and Ralf Schumacher struggled to make any impression on the top 10 during todays final two Practice sessions. Their TF105B simply not fast enough to keep up with the chasing pack, leaving them fighting amongst the Red Bull’s and Jordan’s. On another warm morning, Toyota set about improving upon yesterday’s performances. Sadly, little changed. Jarno who now looks to have got a grip of the new TF105B, matched his team-mate Ralf Schumacher for times, the pair finishing a couple of tenths apart, all be it down in fourteenth and fifteenth. Ahead McLaren continued to dominate, with Kimi Raikkonen finishing ahead of Juan Pablo Montoya up at the top.

For the fourth and final Practice session of the year the weather remained dry. Not that this helped Toyota, who were still struggling to make it into the top 10. There was a hint of improvement from Jarno Trulli who finished eleventh, who seemed to be ever so slowly moving forwards, whilst team-mate Ralf Schumacher got beaten by Jordan’s Narain Karthikeyan in a similarly engined Jordan-Toyota, Ralf would again finish fifteenth. Up at the front, again McLaren took the lead with another batch of quick times to put Kimi Raikkonen fastest followed by his teammate Juan Pablo Montoya.
