Trulli on pole as Toyota dominate

2009 FORMULA 1 GULF AIR BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX

BBC Highlights – Trulli storms to pole in Bahrain

Jarno Trulli will start on pole in Bahrain with Timo Glock next to him as Toyota brilliantly locked out the front row for the first time in Formula 1.

Red Bull’s Chinese Grand Prix winner Sebastian Vettel came through in third but team-mate Mark Webber was controversially knocked out early on.

The British pair of Brawn GP’s Jenson Button and McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton start in fourth and fifth respectively.

ITV Trulli: Pole just reward for Toyota gains

Jarno Trulli said Toyota’s domination of Bahrain Grand Prix qualifying was the perfect reward for the team’s massive improvement over the winter.

Toyota looked quick from the start of pre-season testing, but has had an incident-packed year so far – with both cars disqualified from Melbourne qualifying, Timo Glock picking up a gearbox change penalty in China, and Trulli having his car mounted by Robert Kubica in last week’s race.
