Jarno Trulli was happy with how the Punta Del Este eprix went for his team. The Italian driver picked up his first points of the series by finishing in a solid fourth position.

The Trulli GP outfit was the last team to enter the sport, which meant they where already playing the catch up game with the other teams.

“Today we finally scored our first points, which is very nice for the team and gave something back to our sponsor Jihua who believes in us. I’d like to thank the mechanics, the engineers and the rest of the team for their efforts since we started in July. It wasn’t easy for anyone as we had to rush in comparison to everyone else, who started almost eight months ahead.”

The Trulli team showed signs of improvement in the last round in Putrajaya when Jarno Trulli qualified in fourth position, by scoring points in Punta Del Este reinforces that the team is still improving every race.

“To score the points is promising, and I believe that in Malaysia we already showed this potential. The race was slightly different here in Punta Del Este, but again we stayed with the top group and now we have to continue to perform this way and avoid little mistakes.” said Trulli

Michela Cerruti also had a strong race and was close to scoring her first points of the season, but the female driver had to settle for twelve position.

“I had a good race. After a quick pit stop I re-entered the race P13 and got up to P11. Unfortunately, I received a drive-through penalty as I hit the brakes too late in the pit entry. It’s my mistake and it won’t happen again.

In the end, I was up nosing on the top 10 and finished 12th, which is my best result in Formula E so far. The race pace was good and Jarno’s P4 was well achieved, so overall it was a good race.” Cerruti said.

The team will be looking to build on their recent results when we head into the new year at Buenos Aires on January 10.
