The Italian Grand Prix at Monza marks the last European race of the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship. As the Lotus Racing team heads to Jarno Trulli’s home country, the Italian driver took the time to look ahead to what promises to be another exciting race for the Anglo-Malaysian squad.
“Monza is a very special Grand Prix. We Italian drivers have fantastic support out there, and the fans are really fired up for the race. It’s such a warm atmosphere, you can’t help but enjoy it. The track is challenging, but it’s not as technical as some of them,” he said.
“You obviously need good top speed, low downforce, good traction good braking stability. Everyone talks about the low downforce, but the brakes play a really crucial role. You need to have the confidence to brake as late as possible and as hard as possible at the chicanes, and then you need to have really good traction to get yourself out of them as quickly as possible.”
“I think we saw in Spa that our car is pretty good at the quicker tracks, so I think we’ll be able to repeat our performance in Belgium – as long as we come out ahead of our nearest rivals we’ll be happy, and then we’ll be back in the air for the remaining races of 2010.”
After Monza, the team will join the rest of the grid for the five final fly away events to complete their first year in the pinnacle of Motorsports. As it stands they look set to be the best of the three new entrants making their place on the 2011 quite secure.
