SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium, (Reuters) – Italian Jarno  Trulli promised yesterday to go all out for a Belgian Grand  Prix victory he said could cement Toyota’s Formula One future.

After failing to break into the top 10 in his last three  races, Trulli found himself sharing an unlikely front row with  compatriot and polesitter Giancarlo Fisichella (Force India).

He said he was baffled by the sudden turn of speed but  delighted by it.

“It’s a mystery honestly,” Trulli told a post-qualifying  news conference. “We haven’t done anything on the car compared  to the last few races and suddenly here we are extremely  competitive.

“We’ve been competitive all the way through while we’ve been  setting up the car and it’s great for the engineers, for the  team and all my mechanics because we’re going through a  difficult moment.

“I know we can win the race and I will really be pushing  very, very hard because we need this win, the team needs it,”  added Trulli.

Toyota are desperate for their first win in Formula One  since they entered the sport in 2002, a victory that could put  an end to continued speculation about the team’s future despite  a recent commitment to stay until at least 2012.

The team are still waiting to see what kind of budget they  have for 2010, a decision that will not be taken by the Japanese  manufacturer’s senior management until after the season ends in  November.

Honda quit the sport in December last year and BMW are  leaving at the end of this season.

GOOD RESULT

“A win or a good result will definitely help everyone in the  team for a decision for next year,” said Trulli.

“So far I’m not aware of what’s going on with Toyota but for  sure they are keen to stay if they can win races and they can be  competitive.
