Trulli hoping for dry weather in Germany

In less than three weeks the Formula One teams will travel to the Nürburgring in Germany. The track is located close to Toyota F1's factory in Cologne and is therefore considered as one of the team's home Grand Prix. Once at the Nürburgring, Jarno Trulli is hoping to deliver a special performance in front of the fans and colleagues from the factory.

"The Nürburgring is really close to the factory so it's a special race for a lot of the guys in the team - including Timo (Glock) - and we really want to do well there," said Italian Trulli. "It's nice when we can see our fans and colleagues from the factory in the grandstands and that makes us even more determined to deliver a stronger performance than Silverstone.

"I have some great memories of the Nürburgring, particularly back in 1999 when I was on the podium for the first time in Formula One. That was a wet race and the conditions were really difficult but, even though I didn't have the most competitive car, I pushed to the maximum and finished second. Actually, the weather at the Nürburgring is always a question mark because it is in the hills and surrounded by forest. Even though one of my best races at the track was in the wet, I hope it stays dry for the race this year but it's difficult to predict."
