Trulli: The day with the night!!

14/3/11,

The car of Lotus this year is better than the lat year's and aims have gone up higherl!! 

Jarno Trulli is confident that Lotus has made a 'huge' step forward with its 2011 car - though he warned that with reliability having been less than perfect in testing, it could be some races before the T128 shows its potential.

As it is shown these moves prove to be correct, as the final product, the T128, according to Jarno Trulli has absolutely nothing to do with the car that led last year. The Italian driver believes that with the new car the team has made a huge leap and found the far back of the car.

"The back of the car are one of the best in the paddock, because the gearbox is excellent, and the engine. Everything fits perfectly. The car looks good and quick. If you need to compare with last year is night and day. It is a big step forward and everyone has worked hard for it. Mike (Gascoyne) has it all fit perfectly and Tony (Fernandes) was able to provide us with this very good back. The group should focus on, to make everything right in the suspension and aerodynamics. I think that we have achieved great things in the winter, "said Trulli in Autosport. 

He admitted that Lotus has faced reliability problems in testing, but still feels it has pulled clear of its fellow 2010 entrants and is ready to attack the established midfield teams.

"So it might be difficult at the beginning, but maybe then we can get on top," said Trulli. "Looking at the lap times it's difficult to get a clear idea, but we can probably chase Force India and maybe Sauber. Obviously we are ahead of Virgin and HRT. This at the moment is the picture that we have."
