Vitantonio Liuzzi expects to finish the season with the Trulli Formula E team, as we head into the Monaco ePrix. Liuzzi joined the series at the Miami ePrix after female racer Michela Cerruti dropped out a few days before the race.

“Obviously the programme is to finish the season strongly with the car, we have and to help the team move forward into the second season,” said Liuzzi.

The Italian driver admits that it has been a steep learning curve for him since his first race in Miami. One of the main problems that the 33-year old has struggled with is getting used to how to drive in order to save energy.

“Every race is a steep learning curve. Learning how to drive the car to save energy has been the biggest part of this. When you want to go faster you have to put a 100% in, we don’t have much testing at the circuit and I’ve missed pre- season so it has been difficult to learn these skills, but I’m enjoying it and we are learning all the time,” said Liuzzi.

Liuzzi has a driven a wide range of cars in his motorsport career from Formula One to the World Endurance Championship, but driving a Formula E car is completely different to how he has ever driven a racing car before.

“It is totally different in every way. The way we have to apply the throttle and brake is different. We really have to learn about the energy consumption as a driver, for where we save energy and for how long. The reaction of the car is completely different to anything I have driven,” said Liuzzi

The Italian driver currently sits in 28th in the drivers championship and has yet to score a point in his first two races. Liuzzi is hoping for a trouble free weekend in order for him to try and score his first points of the season.
