Mysterious Toyota on front row

As Giancarlo Fisichella claimed Force India's first F1 pole position in Belgium, Jarno Trulli kept up the Italian feel-good factor by setting a time quick enough to start alongside his compatriot on the front row of the grid. The Toyota driver described his accomplishment somewhat as a 'mystery'.

Having qualified on the penultimate row of the grid in Valencia only a week ago, Trulli will find himself with a clear view of the starting lights on Sunday. "I am very confident for tomorrow," he said after the qualifying session at Spa. "I have been running most of the weekend on heavy fuel and being second on our fuel load will mean a good race tomorrow.

"I have to thank the team and I dedicate this to all of my mechanics, who are going through a difficult moment, and sometimes it is hard to understand what is going on."

Having been generally off the pace for the European Grand Prix despite Timo Glock's fastest lap at the end of the race, what is the reason for such inconsistency from the Japanese team? "It's a mystery," Jarno admitted. "We haven't done anything on the car since the last race yet we have been competitive all weekend!"
