Ralf targets 'solid points finish' in Australia

19 February 2005

Ralf Schumacher was in action this week for Toyota as the team tested a new aerodynamic package on its TF105 car. The German is aiming for a 'solid points finish' in the season opening race in Australia.

"The new aerodynamic package obviously improves the car massively," Ralf said. "We can't give an exact figure of how much it has improved because the conditions here have been difficult and people's lap times have been all over the place. It is also hard to compare lap times with the last time we were in Barcelona because the circuit was brand new. But it always helps to have more downforce and this is quite an improvement. We still have work to do but we are reasonably happy with the package so far. Late on Friday I spun due to an electrical problem and we decided to stop the test because there was not enough time to fix it and to do any more meaningful work."

"We'll be going to Melbourne doing our very best to start the season with a solid points finish," he added.
