Jarno Trulli

La lluvia ha hecho acto de presencia en el Circuit de Catalunya y esto ha impedido el normal desarrollo de los entrenamientos, solo ha completado 18 vueltas hoy, sobre todo esta tarde cuando ha probado el set-up de lluvia. A diferencia de otros equipos, Jarno no ha utilizado los neumáticos de seco.

Jarno se muestra confiado para el GP de la próxima semana: “Hemos tenido algunos días de pruebas sólidas aquí este año, para que podamos tener la confianza de estar en los puestos de cabeza”

Barcelona Test Day 4

Thursday April 17, 2008

Location: Circuit de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain

Drivers: Jarno Trulli

Track Length: 4.655km

WASHING MACHINES

After three days of successful dry testing, the rain finally arrived on cue this morning at the Circuit de Catalunya. Shortly after Jarno Trulli completed his installation lap the heavens opened and the circuit was drenched by heavy rain that continued throughout the morning. The downpour stopped at lunchtime, after which the teams ventured out onto the track. Unfortunately more showers followed, further shortening the running time in the afternoon. Unlike other teams, Jarno did no running on dry tyres. The Toyota team will return here next week for the Spanish Grand Prix.

Position: 8th

Total laps: 18

Total distance: 83.8km

“We knew that rain was forecast for today so we didn’t expect to be able to make too much progress. When we finally did some running we put in a few laps of wet set-up but with the track changing so much it is always hard to draw too many conclusions. When we return here next week the conditions will be different again. But we have had some solid days of testing here this year so we can head into the race with confidence.”

Gerd Pfeiffer, Test Team Manager

“Our weather forecasts were unfortunately accurate so the rain has been the major factor today. We were expecting it but as always it makes meaningful testing difficult. After lunch we did some brief work on wet set-up to try and learn what we could. The week’s test has nevertheless been useful and we have prepared well for next week’s Spanish Grand Prix.”
