Jarno Trulli for Toyota insists that his team could be the surprise of the 2008 season after the TF108 proved to be more than competitive during winter testing.<\/p>\n
After a disappointing 2007 season, Trulli believes he sees the light at the end of the tunnel and that he is ready to fight.<\/p>\n
\u00ab I wouldn’t be surprised if we are labeled the surprise of the year. The greatest satisfaction is seeing smiling faces in a team that has experienced two years of disappointment, \u00bb declared Trulli to the Gazzetta dello Sport.<\/p>\n
Finally, we feel improvements and have the sense that something is changing.<\/p>\n
Ferrari and McLaren are on another planet, but we can fight to join the group that includes BMW, Renault, Williams, and Red Bull.<\/p>\n
He added: \u00ab A driver immediately realizes whether he has a good car to drive or not, and from the first tests, I realized that I had another single-seater in my hands. \u00bb<\/p>\n
\u00ab It was in Bahrain where we realized we were on the right track. Admittedly, Ferrari was stronger, but we improved and our times from last year were beaten. \u00bb<\/p>\n
The Italian believes he still needs a little time to work on his physical shape, but he is adamant that he will be able to compensate for any potential issues.<\/p>\n
\u00ab We also still need to improve for the qualifications but that’s not a problem because it’s only one lap and I’m able to do something, \u00bb he commented.<\/p>\n
The Toyota driver once again praised Frank Dernie, expert engineer, who joined the team as a consultant.<\/p>\n
He is full of ideas. But the thing I liked the most during the pre-season is that the team listened to me more, and we are starting to see some results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
