Ricardo Zonta 2004

The Toyota f1 team had only done 3 days testing at Silverstone prior to this weekends race, and in Ricardos 1st session he completed 27 laps and finished 11th with a time of 1:21.095s, in the second session he finished in 13th after 35 laps with a time of 1:20.095s, He was driving the TF104 chassis, Ricardo had this to say about his sessions: "Today's practice sessions were both quite productive, even though there is still plenty of room for improvement. The tyre choice appears to be rather complicated at this track. On each of the two types of tyre we evaluated, we gain time in one way, but we lose out in the other, so we have to find the best compromise before making our final selection. I think we did a good job in the end. Silverstone is a very nice track from a driving perspective, but it is extremely bumpy, which disrupts the car a lot."
