Trulli ready for home Grand Prix

Jarno Trulli is always excited ahead of his home Grand Prix. The Italian can always count on a lot of extra support from his fans at the Italian Grand Prix. The Toyota driver hopes he can score a few points at his home race.

Speaking about the upcoming race Trulli said: "For me the Italian Grand Prix is special because it is my home race and I get a lot of support from my Italian fans. This is the only race in Italy so I am really looking forward to it. Monza has a really special atmosphere and it is a very different circuit compared to the others, with the very high speeds on the long straights. The engine plays a more important role at Monza than some other tracks and you have to work on setting up the car to be as quick as possible on the straights, but stable under braking because you need to brake hard from high speed.

"We had a disappointing race in Turkey after my incident at the first corner, which was a shame because the car was well balanced and we were expecting a better result. Now we will focus on getting the most out of the car in Italy and hopefully I can score points in my home race."
