Frenchman Olivier Panis expects Panasonic Toyota Racing to gain a points finish in Monaco. The team's test driver and former racer expects a points finish, but is not looking to Trulli's podium line to continue.

 

"What we worked on at Paul Ricard improved the balance of the car a lot," said Panis. "Now we just need to see where we are on a track that is as bumpy as Monaco. On paper I would say that Monaco wouldn't be one of the best circuits for Toyota this year. Imola was our hardest circuit so far because of its kerbs and Monaco's bumps are also a challenge for the suspension. But Monaco is a grand prix which can often throw up a surprise result so you never know. If the cars can score points it will be great. Anything more would be a major bonus."
