Trulli hopes for more luck in Japan

Jarno Trulli didn't have his best race weekend in Singapore. The Italian drove a good race and even led the race for a while but was unable to finish the race due to a hydraulic problem racing in fifth position.

"I enjoy visiting Fuji Speedway and I was very impressed by the facilities there last season. I am definitely looking forward to having a much luckier weekend at Fuji Speedway compared to Singapore," Trulli said looking ahead of the upcoming weekend. "I have to forget about what happened there because I would have finished in the top six but I had the hydraulic problem, which has not happened before. That was a real shame because now we are five points away from fourth in the Constructors' Championship. But I have confidence going into the Japanese Grand Prix, which is an important race for us as a team and of course for our Japanese fans.

"It is impossible for me and the team to push any harder than we have already been doing this season, because we have given everything, but I know our fans will give us great support as always and I will be fighting really hard to get a strong result."
