Monday, April 30, 2012
Although they won't be at Spa for round two of the World Endurance Championship the Toyota TS030 hybrid will be a the track this weekend. The team will complete a functionality test of its new chassis at the Magny-Cours circuit in France. Following the accident at Paul Ricard on 4 April, which damaged the monocoque of the first TS030, the team has worked hard to accelerate production of a second car. This will be completed directly before transportation to the one-day functionality test. A total of seven test days were cancelled in April as a result of the testing accident, giving the team no opportunity to validate the aerodynamic and hybrid system specifications intended for its first race. So the team had no choice but to miss the WEC Six Hours of Spa-Francorchamps event, which takes place on 3-5 May. Yoshiaki Kinoshita, Team President: “I would like to express my thanks to the staff members at Toyota Motorsport GmbH who have worked so hard to deliver our second monocoque ahead of schedule. Now we have a very intense testing programme to prepare for Le Mans, beginning with an initial functionality test to shakedown our systems.”

Sunday, April 15, 2012
Second generation driver Nico Rosberg has completed a textbook lights-to-flag victory to take his maiden win in Formula One. The win also marked Mercedes' first win as a constructor since Juan Manuel Fangio's victory at the 1955 Italian Grand Prix. Rosberg backed up his stunning qualifying lap with a flawless start, ensuring his second-placed teammate Michael Schumacher had no chance to challenge for the lead. 'Unbelievable feeling. Very cool, very happy, very excited,' said a joyous Rosberg. 'It's been a long time coming for me and for the team.' The first-time winner also paid tribute to his Mercedes team. 'Big thanks to the whole team, because all of the engineers have been working very, very hard on improving the set-up. It's very nice to see how quickly we are progressing." Rosberg controlled the gap between the front and the myriad of drivers that filled second place over the course of the 56 laps. Initially it was his Mercedes teammate Michael Schumacher, who followed Rosberg to his first stop on lap 13. However, a pit stop error during the seven times World Champion's pitstop forced him to stop on track with a loose front right wheel. Jenson Button did well to improve from his fifth-place grid slot to finish the race on the second step of the podium.

Sunday, March 18, 2012
Jenson Button took home the first 25 points of the 2012 season after a dominant dominant drive at the Australian Grand Prix. The 2009 World Champion and now three times Melbourne winner rocketed from P2 on the grid to lead the race home, virtually leading from start to finish. Button swiftly passed his team-mate Lewis Hamilton on the way down to the first corner after the younger Briton pulled slowly off the line. He quickly established a three second buffer, from which point he remained untouchable. Reigning World Champion Sebastian Vettel hauled his Red Bull into second place, despite an uncompetitive qualifying session that had him starting from P6. Vettel jumped one place to fifth off the line after Mark Webber suffered from a problematic getaway, from which point he applied pressure to fourth-running Nico Rosberg, and quickly passed him. Although Vettel succumbed to an early and uncharacteristic mistake in the chase for third-placed Michael Schumacher, a brief excursion onto the grass triggered a mechanical failure in the W03, gifting the younger Champion P3.

Sunday, October 30, 2011
Sebastian Vettel has written his name in the Formula One history books once again, winning the first ever Indian Grand Prix at Greater Noida. Vettel led from pole to flag, never at any point under pressure from his racing peers, eventually building a gap of over six seconds between himself and the rest of the field. The German also set a new record for number of laps led in a Grand Prix, taking the title from previous record holder Nigel Mansell from the 1992 season. And, as if his dominance was being at all questioned, he set the race's fastest lap on his final circulation of the circuit: at 1 minute, 27.249 seconds. 'Obviously it was a very good race for us,' said Vettel, stating the obvious. 'I enjoyed the time in the lead very much.' 'Overall obviously a fantastic performance. Thanks to the whole team. 'All in all it was fantastic. I'm very proud to be the first winner in India.' Jenson Button finished best of the rest, and subsequently strengthened his claim for the same title in the year's Drivers' Championship.
