Since returning to Europe, the Toro Rosso team has shown real progress and is establishing itself as a serious and consistent contender for the Top 10, whether in qualifying or in races. Since Barcelona, the small Scuderia has scored 17 of the 24 points it has in the constructors’ championship. Jean-Eric Vergne hopes to see this positive momentum continue for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n
I think we can be the revelation of the second half of the year. We’ve shown it in some races and proved at Silverstone that it wasn’t just because Monaco and Montreal are unique circuits. I think we’re really on a good path, we continue to work hard, and I think we’re clearly going to be a good team with big ambitions, rejoices the Frenchman, who is not really surprised by his team’s current performance level: I think we knew from the beginning of the year that the car had a very large margin for improvement. We started the tests and even the first race with lots of things that we knew would evolve, and that’s what’s happening.<\/p>\n
As for whether the N\u00fcrburgring will suit the STR8 and him in particular, JEV is optimistic, but not overly so: \u00ab I don’t know, it’s been a long time since I’ve been here, same for Toro Rosso. But there’s no reason it shouldn’t work. \u00bb<\/p>\n
