Friday: Trulli is finally satisfied with his power steering
Jarno Trulli returned to his seat at Team Lotus after leaving his T128 to Karun Chandhok in Germany. The Italian driver was able to test a new power steering that finally gives him satisfaction. Team Lotus also introduced some updates to the rear end. Heikki Kovalainen believes it's a step in the right direction, even though the right setup still needs to be found for this Grand Prix.
Jarno Trulli – 20th and 19th:
« I am very happy today. I want to thank the whole team, everyone at the factory and on the track because they have all been patient with me and worked hard to give me a new power steering and a car that suits me perfectly. As soon as I went out this morning, I felt better than before, so I was able to rebuild my confidence in the car and work on small changes and improvements that helped me find a setup I can work with. It has been a positive day and that’s why I thank everyone in the team. »
Heikki Kovalainen – 19th and 20th:
« It seems that we have made a step forward with the updates we brought to the back of the car, but there is still work to be done to find a balance that suits me. We tried different set-ups today, but I couldn’t find the best solution, but we did a lot of laps, so I’m sure we will find the right direction tomorrow. »
