Jarno Trulli and Michela Cerruti are both very happy with how the team has progressed so far this season, with both drivers looking forward to the next round in Buenos Aires after a very productive testing session.

During pre season testing the Trulli team had to cope with a wave of mechanical issues which stopped them gaining a full understanding of their car before going into the first race in China.

Cerruti was impressed with the reliability that the car is now showing, which enable her to put in over 60 laps in testing.

“Overall, the testing was incredibly useful. It’s really my first test day as we had so many technical issues in Donington I never did more than two, three laps in one go, leaving it difficult to assess properly. I feel like I have gotten to know the car a lot better, I know what I need to improve on from my side, and the team know what they need to improve on.” said Michela Cerruti

Jarno Trulli thought that testing came at the right time for his team, as it enable them to continue climbing the learning curve in order to catch up with the other teams.

“During Test Day we tried to have a look at all the different setup changes to see how we could maximise the maps in different situations. Looking at various aspects of the track, we held focus on speed over corners and power on straights whilst maintaining concentrated energy levels. Testing is always valuable as we get more data and more driving experience in the car. Hopefully, this will pay off in the next race.”

The Trulli team will be hoping that they can bring what they learnt during testing and the first three races to good use during Buenos Aires in the new year.
