Jaguar boss pulls out all the stops

David Pitchforth

Jaguar Racing team chief David Pitchforth has told his team to pull out all the stops as the outfit bids to build on its points finish at Silverstone and improve significantly on its current ninth place in the constructors' battle.

"Our last two races have been very strong for us and it's good to see the team moving forward together and up the grid," said Pitchforth. "Scoring at Silverstone our home race was special, especially since it was a first in the team's history. Since then we have all been very focused on our continual progress and our three-day test has been really encouraging."

"I have been very pleased with the results from the test ahead of the Hockenheim race," he added. "Our new aero package is delivering positive results and we will be looking to take this to Hockenheim. This development gives us a good amount of load and enhances our stability, all promising steps. With seven races to go we are pulling out all the stops to ensure that when there is a point to be scored we will be there."

Meanwhile head of vehicle performance Dr Mark Gillan added of the modifications to the R5, "Our test was productive resulting in a positive step forward with the engine and our aero development. We can now go to Hockenheim with the testing data and hopefully be in an even stronger position to race for points."
