Toyota's chassis technical director reckons that the reliability of his TF105 could be enough to win the team the Constructors' Title. Both Jarno Trulli and Ralf Schumacher have not failed to finish a GP this season.

From the spectators chair, we can see that Toyota are faster than all teams but Mike's ex-team Renault.

“We outscored Renault in Bahrain thanks to our 100 percent reliability, while they lost a car to an engine failure,” Gascoyne told Italian daily newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“On that basis, we have the opportunity to fight for the constructors’ championship this year," Mike continued.

Giancarlo Fisichella, of the Renault team won the Australian GP, but has failed to finish a GP since.

As we reported earlier in the week, Toyota will be running modified TF105's in Imola. Testing in Barcelona this week will see a new front wing, rear wing, diffuser and modified sidepods being tested, and maybe raced on April 24th.
