European GP: Preview - Williams
The Renault team is setting its sights firmly on finishing fourth in the constructors championship this season after two strong races in Hungary and Germany threw them back into contention in fifth in the chase, four points adrift of Toyota.
Toyota driver Timo Glock says he's still smiling after a determined drive, returning from a massive accident at the German Grand Prix, brought him his first F1 podium in second place at the Hungaroring.
After a podium in Germany and another strong drive in the Hungarian Grand Prix, Nelson Piquet is hoping he can continue to perform strongly for the remainder of the F1 season as he bids to secure his future with Renault. To achieve that, the Brazilian is aiming for a top ten qualifying slot on Saturday.
Toyota returns to action after Formula 1's summer break with the European Grand Prix on the streets of Valencia, Spain this weekend. After a 10-point haul in Hungary, which saw Timo Glock equal the team's best result of second place, expectations are high this weekend and Toyota aims to leave Valencia with more points.
