Jarno Trulli set a disappointing time in Qualifying 2 this morning, landing 5th place at the Circuit de Catalunya. His time was not enough to hold off the McLaren of Raikkonen, home-boy Alonso or a "lightly-fuelled" Webber.

At temperatures of around 21 degrees, we were all fearful for Toyota after Tiago Monteiro's engine blew up and the session was red flagged.

A better time for Ralf however, lands him the 4th place spot.

Toyota's Keizo told yesterday that the team will not comprimise anything to get pole. Their aim is to win!

Michael Schumacher grabbed 8th place in qualifying, and Rubens will start on the last row due to an engine penalty.
