Italian GP - Race Incidents
Toyota will leave Monza with two points courtesy of Jarno Trulli's strong drive at today's Italian Grand Prix. Jarno and team-mate Ralf Schumacher faced a hard day's work from their respective grid positions of 11th and 13th. Toyota opted for a one-stop strategy for both cars in a bid to make up positions. Jarno maintained a strong pace throughout the race and ended up taking 7th place. Ralf was less fortunate, spending much of the day in traffic and settling for 15th.
Mark Webber finished tenth for the WilliamsF1 team while team mate Nico Rosberg retired from the race with a loss of drive on lap nine.
