Trulli determined to bounce back at home

After a dismal Belgian Grand Prix in which Jarno Trulli struggled to finish higher than sixteenth, the Italian is determined to bounce back this weekend at his home Grand Prix at Monza.

"The Italian Grand Prix is my home race so I am naturally very excited to race in front of the Monza crowd again," Trulli said. "It is always particularly enjoyable for me to race in my home country but it doesn't give me any extra motivation - I am already more motivated than ever this season!"

"I hope I can give my Italian fans a result to enjoy but we will have to wait and see because all teams will have Monza-spec packages and we don't know yet how the competition will shape up," he added. "Having said that, we have adapted well to different tracks this season and I know the team have worked very hard to prepare for this race so I believe we can be competitive again. It was very frustrating not to score points in Belgium after such a fantastic start when I was fighting for third place going into turn one after starting 11th. I had a great chance but once again in Spa I was very unlucky."
