Speed hopes to score first points

Scuderia Toro Rosso driver Scott Speed hopes to score his first Formula 1 championship points this season. Last season the American driver was unable to score any points.

Speaking about his target this season Speed told F1.com: "Well, goals in Formula One are always changing as the competitiveness of the car changes. At the moment, as a team, we are hoping to be in the points a few times this year. If I came away with something like five points at the end of the year I would be very happy, but it is dependent on such a lot of things… "

Speed in Malaysia

Scott Speed is currently testing at Sepang with the other teams to prepare the car for next week's Malaysian Grand Prix. Speaking about this week's test he said: "The test here is quite important and we will probably make a big step forward. We are adding a few parts and most importantly getting a feel for our car to try and make it easier to drive and less on the edge. And it is already easier after one day. I will add more mileage Wednesday morning, then Tonio (Liuzzi) will take over for the remaining time. Then we will see what the race brings."
