Looking for a podium

Italian Renault driver Jarno Trulli was happy to finish 7th on qualifying today. The Renault team expected to finish with both drivers on the top 8 and Trulli was able to complete the requirement. Jarno was quite competitive on the first and third sector though he lost some time on the second sector:

"It was a pretty good qualifying session from my perspective. As we had seen yesterday and this morning, I am competitive in the first and third sectors, but there is still progress to be made in the second part of the lap. I am expecting a tough race tomorrow: the grip level is improving all the time and I believe the track will change significantly during the race itself. The car balance is good, so I think we can certainly hope to score more points tomorrow."

Pat Symonds was also sattisfied for the job done by his driver:

"Jarno had a good lap and finished where we had expected him to be, if our estimates of our rivals' strategies are correct." He said.
