Q&A: John Howett (Toyota).

Friday, 16th May 2008

Panasonic Toyota Racing team president John Howett reflects on the squad's year so far...

Q:
What are your impressions of Timo after five races?

JH:
I am really impressed with how he has performed. I think he is developing very well and his confidence is growing. We are very happy. He has shown an ability to really pull out a quick lap in qualifying, although unfortunately a car problem in Turkey ended what would have been a very good lap. We are looking forward in the next few Grands Prix to really seeing his full potential. He's got the speed, there's no doubt about that, and the results are going to come soon.

Q:
What about Jarno's season so far?

JH:
I think he has confidence in the car and he is really sparkling this year. He feels happy and has been delivering in qualifying and following that up with an extremely strong race pace. He has demonstrated that, given a competitive car, he has the capability to fight at the front - although this appears to have surprised some, it is no surprise to us. We are very pleased with his performances.

Q:
And how about Kamui, your third driver?

JH:
Kamui had a good GP2 Asia campaign and delivered some strong, fighting performances. He has had a reasonably strong start to the main GP2 Series and has already won a race, which is impressive for a driver in his first season at this level. We'll watch him and see how it goes but I think he is a serious contender to be rookie of the year. He's developing all the time and is clearly a prospect for the future.
