The FIA have banned B.A.R from competing in both Barcelona, and Monaco in two weeks time. The best part for Panasonic Toyota Racing however, is that both Takuma Sato and Jenson Button have been disqualified from their positions in Imola.

This, of course promotes Trulli to 5th from his 7th, gaining two extra points for the team on what first seemed a low key weekend at Imola.

Ralf, however is just outside the points in 9th after a penalty for his move on Nick Heidfeld in the pitlane.

Toyota will now head to Barcelona with 29 points in the bag, and their 2nd place in the constructors safe by 4 points from McLaren.

Jarno and Ralf are second and fifth in the drivers respectively and look to build on their progress at Spain.
