Trulli ready for homecoming

Jarno Trulli is looking forward to this weekend's Italian Grand Prix as he aims to turn in a strong performance in front of his home crowd. The Toyota driver is also hopeful he can enjoy a better result at a circuit where he has gone well in the past.

"I always enjoy coming to Monza," said Trulli. "I'm at home so I enjoy more support than usual and the atmosphere is excellent. I like the circuit too and I have usually had good results there, including last year when I had a good run to 5th place in the Toyota."

"Because Monza is the quickest circuit of the year, straight line speed is essential and everyone runs with as little wing as possible," he added. "With such low downforce you push the limits of the grip. The car has a tendency to be more nervous, even on the straights, so you have to drive smoothly. You have to be very precise with your braking points, ride the kerbs and get a good exit out of the chicanes. If you can get it right every lap and always be on the limit you can make a lot of difference."

"Our package has been strong in recent races so we will try to make it through the weekend and score a good result in front of my home fans," he concluded.
