Toyota 'new boy' Ricardo Zonta has expressed his disappointment following his race debut for the team at the Hungarian Grand Prix, the⛦ Brazilian forced out around half distance after his TF104B lost all power.

Speaking following his retirement, the Brazilian reckoned though that he had settled into his new role well,🍰𒊎 after being promoted, following the decision to axe Cristiano da Matta.

"I am naturally disappointed with the outcome of today's Hungarian Grand Prix," said Zonta. "It was not the way I had planned to make my race debut♔ for the team.

"I got a good start and made up a few positions on the run down to the first corner. Things got very tight through turn 1 and I was hit from behin𒐪d by a Jordan, which sent me into a spin and to the back of the field. I then had a lot of overtaking to do, something that is very difficult at this track.

"In the end, I♐ 🧔was making progress, but the car suddenly lost all power and I had to stop. The problem appears to have been caused by electronics, but we must first study all the data to be precise.

"I 🗹have settled into my new role as race driver quite easily thanks ༒to the team and I am looking forward to a much stronger performance in Spa."
