Trulli confident ahead of Monaco

Jarno Trulli is in confident mood ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix. The Italian is confident he can put his strong qualifying form and experience to good use to pull off a strong points finish this weekend.

"Monaco is a great track, one of my favourites, and I have a fantastic souvenir from there with my win in 2004, so I enjoy this race," Trulli said. "I like circuits where the driver's contribution is important and in Monaco the driver can really make a difference. Obviously you always need a good car and I think we have a strong car this year, as we have shown with our performances so far."

"As a driver this track seems very fast because the barrier is so close, even though in reality it is the slowest on the calendar," he added. "It is really important that you are precise and fully concentrating for every lap because there is no margin for error; you can so easily clip a barrier and go out of the race because of a small error. As well as the track itself, the atmosphere at Monaco is also completely unique and very special because the fans are so close and you really feel close to them when you are racing. It's an incredible venue and a race I always look forward to. Generally I have
driven well at Monaco in the past so I am confident we can score more points."
