Trulli expects top six finish

Wednesday 26th March 2008

Jarno Trulli is hoping to be among the top six finishers at the Bahrain Grand Prix in April.

The Italian's fourth place at the Malaysian Grand Prix was Toyota's best finish since Ralf Schumacher picked up five points at the French Grand Prix in 2006.

What made the result even more impressive was the fact that he held off McLaren's Lewis Hamilton in the closing stages at the Sepang circuit.

"It's great. I really wanted the fourth place and I dedicate it entirely to the whole team," he told the official F1 website.

"They have done a very good job over the winter, have given me the car to fight, they are supporting me and the race team did a great job all weekend in Malaysia.

The 33-year-old hopes Toyota will maintain the status quo in Bahrain.

"We had a positive test over the winter in Bahrain and we know what to expect there with our car," he added.

"We have to continuously improve our car performance if we are to challenge the top teams but I think we can fight for the top six again.

"The top cars are a little bit out of reach but we showed in Malaysia that we have the potential to get a really good result when we get everything right with the car and the team does a perfect job."
