Trulli urging Toyota ahead of new season
Jarno Trulli has urged Toyota not to lose heart as they prepare for the start of new Formula One season.
Toyota were the first team to run their 2006 car but have been consistently eclipsed by the likes of Renault, Honda and McLaren.
The Germany-based team are hoping for a first win this season after an encouraging fourth place in the constructors’ championship last year and Trulli wants them to stay positive.
He said: “We feel that we are ready for the first race, but it is difficult to say how competitive we are.
“I can only say that the team has done a good job with the testing and the organisation was perfect. Although we had some bad weather over the last tests, we have achieved some consistent running.
“We aim to improve on last year’s performance and to take a further step forward – we have to believe in this and live it.
“The team is always developing, fighting, and sharing the same feeling that we do our best and hope to win a race.”
The new season starts in Bahrain next weekend.
