Grand Prix
of France - Qualifying Round-Up Saturday 3 July 2004 Cristiano da Matta (Car 16, Chassis TF104/04) Pre-Qualifying: 10th Lap Time: 1m14.245s (+0.868s) Qualifying: 11th Lap Time: 1m14.553s (+0.855s) Grid Position: 11th "This weekend, we have been more competitive than I think we expected to be, but I am certainly not going to complain about that! I am happy with my qualifying lap this afternoon. The balance of the car was good, although I had a bit of understeer on my first qualifying run, which we managed to dial out for the second session. I really don't think I could have found more time from the car and even if I was holding out for a top ten result, eleventh place with our strategy puts us in good shape to pick up some points in the race." Olivier Panis (Car 17, Chassis TF104/03) Pre-Qualifying: 11th Lap Time: 1m14.540s (+1.163s) Qualifying: 14th Lap Time: 1m15.130s (+1.432s) Grid Position: 14th |

| "I
am not particularly pleased with qualifying today. Throughout my lap,
I had some bottoming and then I lost some grip in the last sector. In
the end, I will start from 14th but we cannot change anything about it
now. Instead, we just have to improve the car for tomorrow because it
is a long and hard race here in Magny-Cours. I will continue to do my
best in front of all the French spectators and hopefully our strategy
will allow me to make up some ground." Mike Gascoyne - Technical Director Chassis "It was a close and exciting qualifying session and I think we can be reasonably content with the outcome. Cristiano did a good lap and will line up pretty much where we expected to be on the grid. Olivier lost a bit of time in the last sector so unfortunately he will start his home race a couple of places further back. I don't think we have anything to be concerned about and we have to look to get both cars in the points tomorrow after what has been a pleasantly encouraging weekend for Toyota." |
