Italian Renault F1 driver, Jarno Trulli, is looking forward to this weekend's Germany GP at Hockenheim. After a strong showing in Silverstone where the Italian was able to lead on the early phases, the team now looks forward to this weekend's race with high expectations of a good finishing. Trulli is confident that he can maintain his good performances of recent races in Hockenheim:

"Before every race, I am confident we can do a good a job. We have a strong package, and the essential thing now is to get everything right on
Sunday. Circumstances obviously prevented that at Silverstone, but I am feeling good about the races ahead." He said.

Trulli also believes that the new modifications means that hockenheim is a total new track:

"The new circuit is completely different: there is no comparison between them. The old layout was all about low downforce and high speed, whereas we now have a medium downforce track. We also have a lot of tarmac run-offs now: they don’t change our approach in terms of driving, but it makes our life safer. The drivers have been pushing a lot for these tarmac areas, and things are much better like this." He added. "The circuit now has just one long straight for overtaking, so I think we will need good straightline speed to be able to match our rivals and be battling with them. We know the car is strong through the corners, and on the exits of the slower sections, so I believe we are in good shape for the race."
