Technical director Pascal Vasselon confirmed the crash was"just a classic off on cold tyres, which we know can happen".
Asked by Motorsport.com for his views on running new tyres, Kobayashi said:"The race is going to happen exactly the same. "We are not really amateur, we are professional. We do nothing, just cruising around very smoothly. I feel really sorry for this scenario because it's really challenging with this size of tyre, without a blanket in this temperature."Kobayashi stated that Toyota had"expected this because Spa is always cold" and had previously struggled in pre-season testing at the Belgian trick.
"But here when you go out in Eau Rouge directly with a lot of fast cars around. Hopefully nothing is going to happen tomorrow."
